Hi,
  Could anyone please tell me if it's still possible for someone at AT&T
Bell Laboratories to send e-mail to the outside world.  Specifically, if
they use an address such as xxxxxx@site.com, will it work?
I seem to recall that years ago when I was at the Labs, you had to enter
the address as aaaa!bbbbb!ccccc!.. and so on, giving the whole path.  Is
this still true?  If it is, is there a specific path to use to get out
of AT&T into the rest of the world?

Forgive me if this an elementary question-- I've been out of the e-mail
world for a long time!

I assume that mail **to** someone at the Labs will get there if
addressed to them as "login@system.att.com" which is the only way I can
send mail from here (as far as I know!)

Many thanks for any help!
