We bumped into this headline today on the consumerist.com:

Geek Squad charges $415 to replace hard drive; makes customer retrieve data files himself.

The news was big and thousands of people were surprised. Unfortunately, this is the type of story that we hear on a daily basis.

This usually means that email coming from someone using Outlook is being rejected someone who uses GoDaddy's mailserver. The fix:

Dear GoDaddy.com Email Customer:

Emails from many of your clients are being blocked because of strict filter settings on your GoDaddy.com email account.

Many people who send you messages from Microsoft Outlook receive this in return:

The user does not accept email in non-Western (non-Latin) character sets.

To fix this, log into your GoDaddy.com email account settings and change this:

Accept non-Western (Latin)Messages? Yes (You currently have it set to NO)

The list of acceptable fonts allowed by GoDaddy does not include the common Outlook encoding so many of your incoming messages are being rejected.
