Can you be more specific about the transfer failure? A quick check seems to
indicate smtp.covad.net is a true SMTP server (at least I could do a basic
check over port 25), so the setup should be correct.
What is the "host computer name" you refer to? Does your own system have an
SMTP server (that's common on Linux for example, with sendmail often
configured automatically)? Obviously, if you have a local SMTP server, then
use it instead of the smtp.covad.net. You just need to point to an SMTP
server that will let you send using the "FROM" email address you have.
