-Subject: *** ACTION: IP Address of Outbound SMTP Server Requested (Updated 10/21/03) 
-From: rm-antiattspam@ems.att.com 
  
-AT&amp;T Business Partners &amp; Customers 
- 
-AT&amp;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&amp;T 
-request asking for your cooperation, which will let us improve the 
-service that AT&amp;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&amp;T is asking is for you to help AT&amp;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&amp;T is burdening you with 
-this request, but our AT&amp;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&amp;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 
-Tim Scholl - District Manager, IP Network Services 
-Kevin O'Connell - Division Manager, Information Technology Services

------ Original Message (Sent Monday, 10/20/03) ----- 
-AT&amp;T has an urgent situation with our anti-spam list. In order to 
-continue to allow email to AT&amp;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.
