AT&T Broadband UseNet leak

Sat May 25 06:47:41 UTC 2002

It appears that attbi have leaked out, what essentially is spam to non attbi
customers, who read usenet.

Below is the headers. Did attbi recently become green card/immigration
lawyers recently? No idea who to report this to, sending this to abuse@ will
obviously do little, other then help someone's ticket close metrics.
