We have received complaints from other internet users concerning the same offensive message; however, the offender is not a WorldNet member. WorldNet is aware that the origin of the spam you have received did not emanate from WorldNet; rather, the spammer has used WorldNet as a relay to inject the junk e-mail into the internet community. WorldNet's Terms and Conditions of Service prohibits WorldNet members from sending junk e-mail; therefore, WorldNet obviously finds it disdainful that spammers from other ISPs are bouncing their junk mail off WorldNet's mail servers. We won't stand for it. WorldNet is in the final stages of implementing a fix to the relay problem. Our WorldNet network operations team has spent much time and effort to eliminate internet spamming via WorldNet's mail system. The resolution to the problem is near. Please know that we are working to put an end to such unwanted, offensive junk mail. Regards, Postmaster Reid Fishler wrote:
While we are discussing AT&T Worldnet, does anyone LOOK at mail to abuse? I personally emailed this address, along with root and postmaster over three months ago, and I know of at least 4 others who did the same, and got no response. In fact, I believe 2 of the addresses bounced...And when BBN (transit provider) was called, they refused to do anything about it... Reid Fishler Lightning Internet Services, LLC
AT&T Worldnet announces that starting Monday, March 31 1997, it will be taking action to stop email from non-AT&T Worldnet account holders being relayed through its servers.
We have reserved the right to treat such mail any way we deem appropriate, which may include deleting it without notification to the originator.
