Update on email notification problem
I contact AT&T about those of you who are not receiving email notifications. Our server logs showed that all messages going to anyone using AT&T were getting kicked back. Here's the message I received from them a few minutes ago. By the way...this was my 2nd request. Please let me know if you are not receiving notifications within the next 2 days.
"Dear Administrator:
Thank you for contacting the AT&T Postmaster.
The mail-server IP address(es) associated with your request will
removed from the block list within 24-48 hours from the date of
this notification. AT&T, Bellsouth, SBC and any affiliates do NOT
intentionally block legitimate mail in the course of our anti-spam
initiatives and regret any inconvenience this may have caused. If
the IP that was recently blocked begins to exhibit the
characteristics of a compromised network object or is compromised
by an offender of Acceptable Use Policies, the IP address will be
blocked again.
ADMINISTRATORS: Please thoroughly check your IP logs before
requesting removal. You must determine that all traffic from the
blocked IP is actually from your mail servers to ensure your
network is not compromised. Administrators who fail to do this may
experience subsequent and more resolute blocking.
Thank you for helping the AT&T WorldNet Services network combat
spam in all its forms.
Regards,
AT&T Postmaster
AT&T CSO/IISS"
