AT&T Moves Toward Mail-Server Whitelist

Posted by timothy on from the is-it-better-than-spam dept.

Gunfighter writes "In an apparent attempt to quelch the amount of incoming spam, AT&T has asked their customers, partners, and business clients to provide them with IP addresses of their mail servers. All other mail will be discarded. To quote the message: "... In order to continue to allow email to AT&T you need to provide the IP addresses of all your outbound email gateways. If you do not respond immediately, your access may not continue.""

  1. Why is Karma Whoring rewarded at Slashdot ? by zymano · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Why do people that have legitimate topics get censored as 'Flamebait' when talking about microsoft or comment on KDE and GNOME being more bloated than Rosey O'donell as a 'Troll'.

    Why do people that CUT AND PASTE news article get rewarded by the IDIOT moderators of this website
    with a +5 informative moderation ??

    Does anyone else wonder about these mysterious subjects ?

    Who in their right mind would pay money to Slashdot ? Very bizarre.....If you got cash to burn , how about giving it to the needy instead lazy millionaire Commander Taco.

    time before 3AM..

    Some creativity would be required when posting these again and again, next time change a few wordings and add more superlatives?-)
