FYI: ATT WN blocking domains

[Jay O'Brien <jayobrien @ att . net>]

A heads-up: ATT worldnet has been blocking incoming
mail to us with att.net addresses now for nearly two
days from some domains. Those being blocked include
aol, speakeasy, netscape, bigfoot, and cs. I'm trying
to get a more comprehensive list. Fortunately ATT is
not accepting the mail and it is being bounced to the
senders, in most cases. So at least after 24 hours or
so they learn the email didn't get through. ATT is
working on the problem, but has shared no details or
prognosis with its subscribers.

Fortunately the mailing lists I manage are not on any
of the domains being blocked, but my subscribers who
send from the blocked domains to my att address don't
get through directly to me.

If anyone knows of other domains who are presently
unable to send mail to ATT worldnet, please let me
know. BTW, I do receive all three of the list manager
mailing lists I'm sending this to, at least ATT is
accepting mail from those addresses (now).
