Pray that NONE of your Email correspondents ever gets their Email bounced back by Godaddy's mail servers because of an IP address at their ISP (or domain host) being blacklisted. Otherwise, the ONLY recourse offered by the bounce message will be to call a long-distance number (when it happened to me, it was 480-505-8877) and argue your case with them.
As for the intended recipient of my message, he was (is) the long-term accountant of one of my biggest clients, and his name and office contact info are listed as the Administrative contact and Technical contact, in addition to the Registrant of course. As far as I can tell, he just took the CHEAPEST "domain parking" package (with Email, probably forwarding for all I know) from Godaddy, and he's happy with the return on his money.
He couldn't care less that I could not send mail to him without extra work on my part, he could not be bothered to intervene with Godaddy, and I refused to spent my own nickel to call Godaddy and discuss the matter with them. Since I run my own mail servers (and some of my clients'), and have an assortment of routing options available to me, I just routed around the blockage...
Still, it left me with a bad taste in mouth for Godaddy. In fact, having written their name so MANY times in this one message represents more investment in dealing with them, discussing them or even THINKING about them than I was planning to do for the rest of my life...
