I'm sincerely surprised that att.com!attmail!user worked at all for you
because att.com normally BOUNCES mail which comes into AT&T and then out
again. This includes the above address because attmail.com is NOT part of the
att.com domain.  If you have problems with using accountname@attmail.com, the
AT&T Customer Assistance Center can be called (US phone # 800-MAIL-672) and
they will track down the problem. That's part of their job. If there's a
problem with the Internet gateway, it can't be fixed unless someone knows
about it.
