This is just to warn people who have email under the mediaone domain and are being switched over to attbi. Your mail might get directed to someone else. I have been receiving mails all day that were sent to a mediaone account with the same user name as my attbi address. Guess there is a bug in their system of transistioning the emails to attbi and if an account already exists then mediaone mail gets sent to that account instead.

mediaoneone email servers here blow chunks as it is !! This transition of email addies will no doubt be the nightmare that forces me to switch to RCN :(

I was just talking to a friend about this. What are the chances somebody else has the same email as me. I have also been getting alot more spam lately. This is going to suck.

From them:



<< Dr Valued Customer,

As we recently communicated, AT&T Broadband is changing its e-mail, newsgroup and personal Web page domain to attbi.com for all customers. This change will enable us to meet our legal obligation to discontinue use of the mediaone.net domain and to provide an enhanced e-mail service.

As of March 15, 2002, our mediaone.net and attbroadband.com based e-mail and personal Web pages will no longer be available. The new attbi.com domain as well as several service enhancements are now available.

You can try sending an email to ml009h@attbi.com and see if it bounces or gets delivered to you properly. I doubt someone has that exact strange email though.
