GoDaddy Email & LimeSurvey

I was having trouble getting limesurvey to send out email for invitations. The PHP code was telling the software that it was successful, but I would never receive them. I tried both "mail" and "sendmail" settings (I also failed to try using a gmail SMTP server). I learned that you can set the SMTP server to be relay-hosting.secureserver.net with no user or password, and that's when it gave me a meaningful error. It said it fails for from address (**@gmail.com). That's when I realized that GoDaddy was blocking my sending the email because it thought I was an imposter spammer. Changing the From address on the survey on limesurvey to one with my GoDaddy account's domain name fixed the problem.

    Hi Dave,
    I had issues with Godaddy + Limesurvey too. I called Godaddy and they told me to use relay-hosting.secureserver.net:25 as my smtp host with no user or password. It made my email drop from a 30 min. lag to 1 min. Thanks for your post, it helped me figure some stuff out!
