The letter is quite confused, but read closely, and applying some common
sense, it looks like they are building a list of smtp servers in ATT
address space, or address space served by AT&T as the ISP, and that only
those servers will be allowed to SEND smtp mail via port 25. So unless
ATTBI is your ISP, you are unaffected, except to the extent that this
reduces spam from ATTBI sources.

Corporate AT&T is attempting to switch to IP whitelisting. Not on
the whitelist, you can't send them email.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
