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 ..
