It's been known for quite some time that Go-Daddy uses http://www.spamhaus.org for filtering incoming e-mails, which I believe is an excellent business practice and helps remove a large amount of the spam that is sent out these days, BUT, in a new turn of events GoDaddy started using that exact same spam filter against its own paying customers! If you send a legitimate e-mail out through their servers fully SMTP authenticated, on their SSL servers, or even through their webmail and link a host, or IP address in the body of your message that is listed by SpamHaus the message is instantly refused. The main problem that I am seeing on this is that SpamHaus eventually wants to list every single dynamic IP address in the world on their block list for sending mail, so if you need to send anyone your IP for any reason (letting them download a file, needing remote help, running a music streaming program, etc etc) you will no longer be able to do it through GoDaddy. After multiple calls and emails it is 100% confirmed that is GoDaddy's intention and is working properly.
As I said, I understand blocking a message from being recieved that was sent from a non-authenticated user, or from a mail server that is running on a dynamic IP address, but blocking a legitamate e-mail that has an IP address or link in the body before its even sent? This is unacceptable.
