I get a couple calls a week from people asking how we got off of it. Think if it as an opportunity to network with others. :) For those who are reading this three months from now on Google, we got off the blacklist.mail.ops.worldnet.att RBL by emailing abuse_rbl () att net from a hotmail account. It took about 24 hours and I never received an "It's all better now" email, it just started working. Good Luck, -ejay

admin at AT&T The following is an autoresponse I have been forced to
make
in my email client. I get, on average, 1-2 emails per week since I originally posted here asking for help with my own att.net blacklisting
woes.
That was in *August*. I posted this here once before, in hopes that perhaps it would get as widespread in Google as my original post has been. Today alone I have received 3 emails about this issue. I would highly
appreciate an
offlist email telling me what you are doing to document
your
blacklist and the procedure ISPs must follow to get removed.
Alternately,
AT&T payroll may contact me and we can discuss my consulting rates,
should
you wish me to continue being your only source of documentation and support for this blacklist. ~Ben ---begin autoresponse--- Here's a post I posted to NANOG and news.admin.net-abuse.email, as I have gotten a lot of replies abut this. --- Subject: ATTN: Anyone with RBL clue at att.net Something must be highly broken at ATT. I have been
receiving tons of
emails in response to a Usenet posting I made months ago asking if anyone knew how to get out of att.net's private RBL. The procedure: What I did: Called the contact in the whois record... Administrative Contact, Technical Contact: GNMC (VXGTRUVDOO)

website
immediately. You are apparently doing some very heavyhanded blocking
and
professionalism demands you at least give admins some recourse to figure
out
why they are blocked and how to fix their problems. ~Ben (I speak for myself here) --- Ben Browning <benb () theriver com> The River Internet Access Co. WA Operations Manager 1-877-88-RIVER http://www.theriver.com
