While we are discussing AT&T Worldnet, does anyone LOOK at mail to abuse?
I personally emailed this address, along with root and postmaster over three
months ago, and I know of at least 4 others who did the same, and got no
response. In fact, I believe 2 of the addresses bounced...And when BBN
(transit provider) was called, they refused to do anything about it...
