Please report problems about Email into AT&T to postmaster@att.com,
since there is no reason for the AT&T Postmaster to read this newsgroup
regularly either.  I will mail a copy of this to the sender as well.

The AT&T Internet gateway chose Thanksgiving weekend to get stuck, and
a sizable backlog of incoming email accumulated.  The warning you got
is just that, a warning that your mail had not yet been delivered.  The
backlog has since been cleared out and all mail is functioning normally.
