It is certainly POSSIBLE; the problem is that ATTMail is a for-fee
service, and the machine actually connecting to 'attmail' has to
pay for the message it sends, even if it didn't originate 'locally'.
This is the same reason I doubt we'll see any bridges between Usenet
and services like MCI Mail, CompUServe, or other for-fee E-mail systems.
Any machine with UUCP can connect to ATTMail directly(hint), but I
don't think you'll find many willing to absorb the cost of forwarding
traffic for you.
