I have my broadband through AT&T, although I keep my aol address and pay
a small sum to have it for dial-up in case of emergency, but I also have
Firefox, which is a free download through www.mozilla.org. Once you
have Mozilla, it is very easy to get to eternal-september. Actually, I
have never used my AT&T addy - I hope they don't write to me on it as I
shall never see it.

I think my DSL is on an AT&T line, but I subscribe through a local ISP
and have no dealings with AT&T at all. From what I see, it's the AT&T
email system that is blocking eternal-september.com from any of their
clients. AOL sometimes has blocked individual email addresses and
entire domains. I have email through my ISP and keep a Yahoo address
active, too. I used to have a hotmail addy, but they killed it when I
didn't use it often enough.

I'm grandfathered in to the ability to download my hotmail
addresses using Outlook Express. Every time I download
e-mail it checks hotmail.com so I am able to maintain the
addresses even though I don't post *from* hotmail ever. I
use the hotmail addresses to register online where I don't
want my comcast address exposed.

Actually it's from both sides.
This is from the eternal-september web site:
As AT&T will terminate their Usenet service on July 15, 2009, please
note: AT&T mail addresses can not be used for registration with Eternal
September as we will not be able to send your registration information
to such mail addresses.
Note: This also applies to other domains handled by AT&T mail servers
such as Bellsouth, SBCGLOBAL, Prodigy etc. AT&T uses a very "creative"
blacklist and is utterly unresponsive to removal requests. Please do not
use AT&T mail addresses for registration. The registration page will
reject such addresses. Also, please do not send inquiries and questions
using AT&T reply addresses as AT&T mail servers will bounce all replies
to these mails.

Yes, that says that AT&T has blacklisted eternal-september.com email, so
registrations cannot be completed because nobody can respond to email
they didn't receive, and verification of accounts requires some kind of
response. The work-around is to get a web-based email address to use
for these instances.
