I have the e-mail address of a friend who uses the AT&T e-mail
service and I wanted to know how I can send him e-mail. I called AT&T
and they told me that it would be easier if my friend sent me e-mail
first, but that would take a while, because my friend is in another
country.
So, does anyone know how to send e-mail to someone who uses
AT&T e-mail (I think that they call it Easy-link).

According to the book "!%@:: A Directory of Electronic Mail Addressin
& Networks", you should be able to reach someone on AT&T Mail like this:
accountname@attmail.com
The book says this is "expected to be operational June 1990", so hopefully
it will work.
Good luck.

Don't have any idea < why, but the quoted method didn't work. 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. Tony Hansen hansen@pegasus.att.com, tony@attmail.com att!pegasus!hansen, attmail!tony

So there's no difference (in theory) whether you send mail to att!attmail!user or att.com!attmail!user or user@attmail.com it should all end up hitting some "att" machine of some kind first. in practice, who knows. --Ed ; <<>> DiG 2.0 <<>> mx attmail.com ;; ANSWERS: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY , status: NOERROR, id: 6 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra ; Ques: 1, Ans: 1, Auth: 0, Addit: 1 ;; QUESTIONS: ;; attmail.com, type = MX, class = IN ;; ANSWERS: attmail.com. 3600 MX 0 att.att.com. dig internet/noctools venera.isi.edu:/pub/dig.2.0.tar.Z
