AN AT&T PERSON RESPONDS Message-ID: <84@holin.ATT.COM> Date: 13 Jul 88 03:10:30 GMT Article-I.D.: holin.84 References: <651@scovert.sco.COM> <30.UUL1.3#935@aocgl.UUCP> <2761@ttrdc.UUCP> <271@mjbtn.UUCP> Organization: AT&T Data Systems Group Lines: 30 Boy is this one causing us grief! Unfortunately those of us who must deal with this situation are not the ones who make the decisions around here. However, those of you out in NETLAND be aware that there are some of us AT&Ters who are making some noise about this. Odds are small that it will do any good, but WE ARE TRYING. Although I hate to agree with the subject line, I see it as a last resort if we cannot get the powers that be to start passing third party traffic again. Maybe if somebody "important" at this company starts getting their own e-mail outside of AT&T bounced then they will realize that this idea is foolhardy and counter-productive. I only have one request for the system admins out there. Don't just cut off AT&T immediately. Let us try to do something from the grassroots level. If it doesn't work then we can use this most harsh alternative. Thanks for you time, and I'll try to keep you all "posted" on the status.
