It won't work with the ;'s.  ; is used to define a customer reference humber
(for billing purposes).

I think the address should be something like:
ADMD ATTMAIL
DDA.ID internet(b)cis.ohio-state.edu(b)david(b)david

I think the customer service name is internal only, but maybe not.  If it is
accessible from the outside world, it would be:
SVC@ATTMAIL.COM
