Oh...  I haven't yet received that much spam from them, but it's also
quite possible that I'm receiving spam from them but can't tell it's
from GoDaddy.

Having said that, I didn't think my predecessor knew what s/he was
doing.  But I didn't want to sound bitter just because I had to clean
up a few things when I arrived at that job.  :-)

I'll keep an eye out for the level of spam coming from them...  Thanks
for the advice!
