Since my posting, several users have responded to me, saying that there is nothing wrong with Worldnet/ATT. Some wanted to blame it, as usual, on RootsWeb. Those few users are the lucky ones that have never had problems receiving email through their service, or so they think. Look at it this way: If they are missing messages, how are they to know there are any problems? Anyway, another user DID contact ATT about the erratic service and received the following answer. I have removed his name in the sake of privacy. YOU read the reply from ATT and then decide if there has been any problems. Pay particular attention to the next to last sentence where the ATT representative says that the servers "may not be available or may perform erratically". Those of you Worldnet/ATT users who have been unsubscribed for excessive bounces may now understand why this has happened. If ATT is out of service, then your email IS going to bounce. After five bounces, you get automatically removed.
