SMTP relay comcast?

We have our mail server and business comcast. Sometimes our server down (updates, upgrades, problems, etc) Does it possible to use comcast smtp as a relay mail server (like a backup) which will collect emails when my server down and then when it up just send it to my server from relay. Thanks

HI VladHom.  Mail relay is not permitted on the Comcast Network.  Mail originating on the Comcast requires a valid @ comcast.net,  @comcastbiz.net email address or Comcast hosted exchange email using your private domain. 

 

Thank You

Really? Even for business class customers the relaying of mail is not allowed? That seems ridiculous.

This is not rediculous.  If Comcast permitted this kind of relaying on it's mailserver than a spammer could send loads of forged mail quite easily and Comcast's mailservers would certainly be blacklisted quite quickly.
