This assumes attmail can send to uucp addresses. I have no idea about this silly mail service. Why wouldn't one just run UUPC on their own pc and get uucp mail connectivity for free? UUPC is a PD uucp clone by Rick Lamb. It's avalable on uunet and other PD sources archives.

And it is really a moot point as to whether or not ATT Mail can reach uucp addresses, since all they do (I believe) is hand off everything to the Internet for routing, including Bitnet and Fido, and I assume uucp as well. Regarding your comment about running a uucp clone and 'getting it for free', I'd be interested in hearing about the deal you cut with C&P to give you a no-charge phone line for your site. PAT]
