Default Emails only send to Webbased addresses (cant find solution)

Confirmation emails, mail sent from Admin control panel to customers, new account emails, etc all are not being sent to ISP email addresses, but deliver fine to web based email accounts e.g. Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.

I have found several posts and bug posts that state similar problems, most of them ending up finding a solution that involves a problem with their webhost and the configuration of the A records or MX records. I dont know much about that, but I tried calling godaddy (they are hosting my account for now) and they said everything was set up fine from their end. I would normally believe this except that many other posters said that after repeatedly being told it wasn't a server side problem by their webhosts, that they found out eventually that it indeed was a configuration problem.

The problem is that no one lists the actual problem and I don't know exactly what to tell my webhost.

Here is the email header from the mail successfully sent to yahoo mail account.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

in your Admin (or chage via your MySQL admin tools)

Change in Configuration:
'E-Mail From' which controls the 'EMAIL_FROM' variable which is 'The e-mail address used in (sent) e-mails'

Check all email address in the store - that they are all vaild. (There is a few in there for various things....)

I changed all addresses but that didnt seem to help. Still has nobody@localhost listed. This is a problem in my configuration definitely?
