ATT wanted to inform their customers of upcoming USENET server changes. A decision was made to post a message to all USENET groups on their local server only. The engineer responsible for this task made a minor syntactical typo and the posting went global. Oops. They are well aware of the error, and are taking steps to make sure it does not happen again. No more abuse complaints are necessary. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Sameer R.

Below is the headers. Did attbi recently become green card/immigration lawyers recently? No idea who to report this to, sending this to [email protected] will obviously do little, other then help someone's ticket close metrics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sameer R.
