This is true iff #_of_ATT_sites == #_of_NON_ATT_sites, a bit arrogant don't you think? Just for the record, 1. ATT can do whatever it wants. 2. I can see strong reason for not allowing non-ATT sites to use ATT internal network to route non-ATT mail. 3. I think not allowing non-ATT mail to route thru ATT site without using ATT network means ATT is not doing its fair share. 4. Within (3) above, ATT should discourage others using it as THE mail routing host, which is getting less and less the case anyways. -- Godfrey Lee P.O.
