I'm the owner of one of those 1399 blocked domains. I assure you all the details in the original article are correct. I, my domain, e-mail, website and anything else owned by me has absolutely nothing to do with those 2 spam activities GoDaddy refers to. And I'm pretty sure the other 1398 domains has nothing to do with spam either.
For those who don't get it, I repeat: Majordomo is not "an underground spam network in the anarchist country". If you think this way, take your nose out of computer and travel the world, it's much different from what you think. Majordomo is a legal and respectable company (yes, it's reselling GoDaddy's services). On my part I'm an independent Mac shareware developer. Thanks Majordomo, now these domains are unblocked.
GoDaddy's actions look like, feel like, smell like, and in fact ARE real extortion. It's absolutely clear, this is one of their ways to earn money. This time they went too far, probably thinking that if Russia is far abroad, such actions won't be noticed. I would recommend to everyone never have any business with GoDaddy, and those who already use it as a registrar, switch immediately.
Did I get any response to my e-mail to GoDaddy? No. Did I get any excuses for their actions? No. Will I get a reimbursement for the loss of profits? No.
Anyone who had the same problems with them, send a report at internic and FBI websites, and I hope that scum will be shutdown.
