I hope not very many people use ATT as a Provider. I have tried to contact my niece 
and am told that I am a Spammer. My niece also told me that other people can't mail 
her because of the ATT Spam Blocker. They have given me no satisfaction. They say 
they contact the Administrator and of course I have none being a single user on a 
home computer. I am sure they have a glitch in the software as my niece turned spamblocker 
off and still???? ATT said I was banned from mailing to any att.net account. So much 
for the big well known providers.

I have had one email address for years. The company has changed hands. I now get the response from some prviders that my mail server is a spamming one and they won't let the message through. Don't use that adress to send with any more but still receive with it. My normal isp (earthlink) lets you check blocked mail and if you find one that is legit you can add that address to your address book and it will come right through the next time. Must be added to isp web mail address book.

Contact your ISP about your problem and have them deal with it. You are not the spammer it is your ISP's e-mail server that is being peged as the spammer.

Sorry to say, I don't know anyone who has used ATT and not had a complaint, (but in all fairness, the complaints have been about billing). My advice is to check the big ISP names, because if they aren't in your area, they should be. Try this link http://thelist.internet.com/ to see if there are any other providers. One last piece of advice is to try http://www.emailaddresses.com/, and find a web mail account. That way, you can change ISPs like gas stations, and they'll have to get their spam/billing/services in order so they'll stay in business. You'll be able to have an email account that won't change no matter what your ISP does. Good Luck Phil

Thanks for the reply. The only providers in my area is the local phone company. No 
aol,att,msn thank goodness, they all leave a lot to be desired. No Juno or Netzero 
either. I did forget that I have Netscape which I really don't use, but I think I 
have a web base account in it. I will check out the sites that you suggested. Thanks 
again.
