Please report problems about Email into AT&T to postmaster@att.com, since there is no reason for the AT&T Postmaster to read this newsgroup regularly either.

The warning you got is just that, a warning that your mail had not yet been delivered. The backlog has since been cleared out and all mail is functioning normally.
