FYI godaddy doesnt advertise their 1800 number but it used to be (not sure if it still works)<br />
<br />
1-866-GO-DADDY or 1-866-463-2339<br />

We updated the setting in godaddy, created an SPF record, made it so email could only go through godaddy servers. &nbsp;When I look in the sent folder, there's nothing in there that he didn't send himself. &nbsp;Yet hundreds of them are coming back undeliverable. &nbsp;Could it be that it's only spoofed, and not really going through godaddy, if so, can that be stopped?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Did you run virus scans? Did you check if Godaddy provide spam filtering?

going to switch email addresses, I think now that the floodgate is open, we're screwed. &nbsp;Godaddy is perplexed and couldn't do anything. &nbsp;Thanks for everyone who helped.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a client that has their email hosted at Godaddy. &nbsp;He's getting hundreds of bounced-back messages that he didn't even send. &nbsp;So someone is spoofing (?) his account. &nbsp;How can I stop this, short of erasing the whole account? &nbsp;<br />

How to stop spoofed emails?

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.

Email Clients

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions is sometimes also considered an email client, but more commonly referred to as webmail.

Email Software

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
