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.""

    Is this really true? They did not think to include their employees in their whitelist?

    And how do prospective customer get in touch?
