> Date: Fri, 28 Mar 1997 18:08:44 -0500 > From: Jonathan Clark <[email protected]> > To: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] > Subject: Anti-SPAM announcement from AT&T Worldnet > > AT&T Worldnet announces that starting Monday, March 31 1997, > it will be taking action to stop email from non-AT&T Worldnet > account holders being relayed through its servers. > > We have reserved the right to treat such mail any way we deem appropriate, > which may include deleting it without notification to the originator. > > Please address any questions about this policy to [email protected] This should really be treated as a warning message to mail administrators everywhere. If you have not already implemented mail-relay blocking, you should think seriously about adding it now. When AT&T starts the filtering, those senders "hijacking" AT&T mail servers will go searching for alterate servers; sort of like rats fleeing an abandoned warehouse that is now being renovated. --- Jim C., President | C A R R O L L - N E T, Inc. 201-488-1332 voice | New Jersey's Premier Internet Service Provider 201-487-5717 dialup | http://www.carroll.com | Ask about our Business Web Services - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
