|GoDaddy is about as worthless of a mail provider and it gets. I can't
|count the number of times I've had customers get themselves blacklisted
|by GoDaddy and not be able to get unlisted. Finding a contact number
|for them used to be damn near impossible. Finding a competent mail
|admin on the other end actually was impossible. My own company got
|blacklisted by GoDaddy a little over a year ago. A user with an
|infected laptop relayed infected email out through the corporate
|firewall's NAT pool (no longer blindly permitted). GoDaddy's response?
| The entire /24 used by our corporate firewall was blacklisted
|intermittently for about 6 months.
|
|Our recommendation to our clients and our SP customers is to not use
|GoDaddy's mail services. Pick a mail provider that's known for being
|responsive.

I would add that Yahoo email should also be on that list of email providers=
to tell one's customers to avoid, for all the reasons mentioned above.=
Yahoo's email is especially bad around the area I live because the local=
DSL provider uses a re-branded Yahoo email service. It has become easier=
for me to walk to my neighbor's house and hand-deliver a letter, than to=
try sending an email to that neighbor's Yahoo email inbox.
