Can I relay email through Covad servers (SMTP Relay)?
Although Covad’s servers will allow SMTP Relay, it is not advised. A valid covad.net email account must be set up in the SMTP setup of the mail client. Because covad.net email accounts are consumer accounts and are designed for general home consumer use, many customers using SMTP relay for their business needs may violate Covad’s Acceptable Usage Policy, which we advise you to review. Covad does not block port 25 in through the network. It is advised that instead of using SMTP relay, customers use their provider’s SMTP server for sending third party hosted mail.
