No explanation.  Just "Oh, maybe you did something bad, and we'll stop
blacklisting you eventually, but, if you do again that thing we cannot 
detail to you and only vaguely imply, we'll blacklist you again, this
time, more resolutely."

Fsckwits.

What I read online is that AT&T has recently done a _lot_ of unjustified 
blocking of IPs.

Thank you for contacting the AT&T Postmaster.

The mail-server IP address(es) associated with your request will be
removed from the block list within 24-48 hours from the date of this
letter.  AT&T and its affiliates do NOT intentionally block
legitimate mail in the course of our anti-spam initiatives and regret
any inconvenience this may have caused.  If the IP that was recently
blocked begins to exhibit the characteristics of a compromised network
object or is compromised by an offender of Acceptable Use Policies,
the IP address will be blocked again.

ADMINISTRATORS:  Please thoroughly check your IP logs before
requesting removal.  You must determine that all traffic from the
blocked IP is actually from your mail servers to ensure your network
is not compromised.  Administrators who fail to do this may
experience subsequent and more resolute blocking.

Thank you for helping AT&T Internet Services network combat spam in
all its forms.

Regards,


AT&T Postmaster
Chief Security Organization
