I get a couple calls a week from people asking how we got
off of it. Think if it as an opportunity to network with
others.
For those who are reading this three months from now on
Google, we got off the blacklist.mail.ops.worldnet.att RBL
by emailing abuse_rbl@att.net from a hotmail account. It
took about 24 hours and I never received an "It's all better
now" email, it just started working.
Good Luck,

The following is an autoresponse I have been forced to
make
in my email
client. I get, on average, 1-2 emails per week since I
originally posted
here asking for help with my own att.net blacklisting
woes.
That was in
*August*. I posted this here once before, in hopes that
perhaps it would
get as widespread in Google as my original post has been.
Today alone I
have received 3 emails about this issue. I would highly
appreciate an
offlist email telling me what you are doing to document
your
blacklist and
the procedure ISPs must follow to get removed.
Alternately,
AT&T payroll
may contact me and we can discuss my consulting rates,
should
you wish me
to continue being your only source of documentation and
support for this
blacklist.

Here's a post I posted to NANOG and
news.admin.net-abuse.email, as I have
gotten a lot of replies abut this.

Subject: ATTN: Anyone with RBL clue at att.net
Something must be highly broken at ATT. I have been
receiving tons of
emails in response to a Usenet posting I made months ago
asking if anyone
knew how to get out of att.net's private RBL.
The procedure:

Asked for their abuse department. Kept asking and calling
back and leaving
messages, etc, until finally I got a response. It took me
several days.
AT&T - please document the removal procedures on your
website
immediately.
You are apparently doing some very heavyhanded blocking
and
professionalism
demands you at least give admins some recourse to figure
out
