Subject: *** ACTION: IP Address
of Outbound SMTP Server Requested (Updated 10/21/03)
From:
rm-antiattspam@ems.att.com
AT&T Business Partners &
Customers
AT&T has received many of the requested IP addresses in
response to an
e-mail originally broadcast yesterday to our business
partners and
clients. However, we have also received many concerned
responses to
the original request.
This 2nd e-mail is to let you know
that this is a legitimate AT&T
request asking for your cooperation,
which will let us improve the
service that AT&T offers you and that our
partnership requires. We
have provided a toll-free number below
to help you confirm the
legitimacy of this request.
We have assembled
the distribution list for this e-mail by looking up
the administrative
contacts for each of the known e-mail domains we
currently exchange e-mail
with, referencing WHOIS and other such
services available via the
Internet.
What AT&T is asking is for you to help AT&T to restrict
incoming mail
to just our known and trusted sources (e.g., business
partners, clients
and customers). Therefore, we need to know which IP
address(es) are
used by your outbound e-mail service so we can selectively
permit them.
Please send this information to the following e-mail address
(rm-antiattspam@ems.att.com).
If you need assistance determining what
these IP addresses are, please
contact your company's administrative e-mail
server support / network
administration personnel. We regret
that AT&T is burdening you with
this request, but our AT&T security
team is advising that we take this
step to help safeguard our e-mail
systems, which ultimately will help
us serve you better.
Please
contact us with any concerns or questions:
AT&T Security Help Desk
1-800-456-4230, prompt 4 (8am - 10pm est)
Thank you for your prompt
attention to this matter. We appreciate your
cooperation.
Sincerely,
Brian Williams, IP Network Services

Scholl - District Manager, IP Network Services

AT&T has an urgent situation with our anti-spam
list. 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. The required information should
be sent
to rm-antiattspam@ems.att.com.
