Godaddy appears to use "made up" hostnames for SMTP HELO entries...

Received:       from unknown (HELO gdmailer03.dc1.corp.gd) (208.109.14.188) by 
m1relayapp01-01.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net with SMTP

I can see a couple of problems with this.

1. Many antiSPAM measure reject mail from unknown hosts.

2. corp.gd is a legitimate domain name owned by someone else than than Godaddy.

Domain Name:               corp.gd

One wonders how a major ICANN approved registrar can make such basic technical 
errors, and leave them in place for YEARS?
