to inform the affected people they have to move from GoDaddy
to a company that does a better job to correct the problem.

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.
