Fri Jul 13 14:46:14 CEST 2007

well, thanks for your reply guys.. however it's been like reading chinese..
I didn't understand a thing except that this could be godaddy's SMTP relay
thingy .. so I sent them a support request and asked them to fix it or else
:P

ah by the way, the daily limit is it 100,000 not 1,000 for I requested the
daily limit to be increased and sent them info on my list and they agreed.. 

thanks again guys .. I'll let u know what godaddy will have to say about
this ..

see ya
