Hey- AT&T - I've got an idea for you.  Why don't you, instead of rerouting
mail where you don't connect to the next hop (i.e. sending to att!psuhcx!wcf),
dump it!  Return it with an error message - you can't get there from here.
But let mail that's using your site just to pass through -
connectedtoatt!att!connectedtoatt!x!x!...

Just an idea. . .
