NoDaddy

When asked to recommend a domain registrar, I will often throw GoDaddy into the mix. I don’t use them much but from time-to-time I do have to deal with them. Today I found that one of GoDaddy’s mail servers (68.178.232.28) is blacklisted with the SORBS RBL. This can be problematic for some users when doing important admin tasks requiring email verification.

After some further googling, it seems the same IP address has previously been associated with domain phishing scams; a long time ago true, but not particularly helpful. The moral of the story… where possible (and it’s not always possible), to keep your internal services separate from your customer services.
