Someone's maps are bogus for node icus. I never published a map with
attmail being one of the sites I forward mail to. AT&T Mail is a premium
service that I pay for. It costs for *EACH* electronic mail message to
be sent (costs vary according to length). In the last two weeks I have
received 15 different people trying to mail letters to people through
AT&T Mail (node attmail).
I caught this after the fact and turned the "Any" status in the Systems
file for attmail to "Never". Now I have to physically turn it to Any
and mail anything I want at that time. This will stop the ON DEMAND status
for mail to attmail that I do not want to be forwarded (ie. ALL FOREIGN MAIL).
I am going to cancel the jobs when I see them, and you will not be notified
of this. I would suggest finding someone willing to front the $0.80+ for
each message being sent, or subscribing for $30.00.
The following people have tried to use icus as a valid mailer, your mail
has been cancelled and not returned:
May 3 14:47 sbcs!sunybcs!rutgers!aramis.rutgers.edu!pleasant
-> attmail!lzwa!mlr
May 3 14:47 sbcs!sunybcs!rutgers!aramis.rutgers.edu!pleasant
-> attmail!ddejager
May 5 01:02 sbcs!sunybcs!rutgers!hplabs!csun!polyslo!kquiros
-> attmail!rbunge
May 5 05:03 pacbell!scrms0!ejnihill
-> attmail!dfeith
May 5 18:40 sbcs!sunybcs!rutgers!bellcore!nyquist!sok
-> attmail!curry
If you want to send to AT&T Mail, be very sure that the node you send it
through allows this traffic.
Has anyone patched smail2.5 to bounce back mail that you don't want to
be forwarded. I only want LOCAL mail created at this site to go to attmail,
anything foreign I want to be returned to the user.
Thank you,
