My mailbox would be full of spam today if weren't as careful sharing my primary email address, and without spam assassin turned on. Large spam operations are not affected by blacklisting. I suspect that smaller hosters are at a disadvantage dealing with this and that larger hosters are exploiting this to increase their market share.

ALL email providers are responsible for blacklisting email servers that are known for sending spam. Otherwise, client inboxes would be full with spam all day, every day. Although, I personally would not use GoDaddy email based on the ridiculously low storage and past bad experiences with their hosting. I use GoDaddy only for thay their best: Domains. Everything else, I use other services. Email? I use Google Apps Standard (free Gmail on your domain). Also, HostDime is a GREAT host. As well as Media Temple (my current host). Only the best.
