I read it as clearly stating that _any_ mail (not limited to spam
or obscene, etc.) being relayed (not to or from an AT&T Worldnet
customer) will not be delivered by AT&T Worldnet's mail servers.
``We have reserved the right to treat such mail any way we deem appropriate,''.
This may include actually delivering it, but in the vast majority
of cases I do not expect the mail to reach its intended destination(s).
We will be keeping statistics and I hope to be able to present these
in some public forum in due course.
