[Fwd: Important ICANN Notice Regarding Your Domain Name(s)]

Fri Oct 6 04:37:19 UTC 2006

GoDaddy's abuse desk is not so easy to work with...I have had two different
times that a whole /24 was blocked even though parts of the address space
were split between different providers (and customers), but GoDaddy would
hardly relent.  Took over a week to get that resolved.

SecureServer.net is GoDaddy.

If you have domains hosted at GoDaddy or a reseller, your customer 
notifications come from that domain.

They also do web and email hosting, which is probably why you're seeing 
the abusive behavior, but they do have a working abuse desk, so if you see 
stuff from there, definitely report it.
