770471 - [config] att.net is changing hostnames

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools :: ISPDB Database Entries, defect)

Description

[Vincent (caméléon)]

att.net is upgrading its settings.

From http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB401570&ct=9000086&pv=1&title=Email+server+settings+%28POP+and+SMTP%29#fbid=u-AGOk0axcj
"AT&T's POP/SMTP settings have changed to inbound.att.net and outbound.att.net, but if you are using the old server settings (pop.att.yahoo.com and smtp.att.yahoo.com), they will continue to work. You do not have to change them at this time."

The current autoconfiguration file still use xxx.att.yahoo.com

Vincent could you create the new file and then we'd ask reviews to :benb and :gozer ?

Attachment: new att.net configuration file

Here is the patch.
I have just reorder the list of subdomain in order to be coherent with att support.
I also updated pop and smtp server name.

[Vincent (caméléon)]

Note that I don't have any att.net account, so I haven't test it.

[Ben Bucksch (:BenB)]

This is not an upgrade, no improvement. Merely the hostname changed.

This is not a proper patch/diff, and you also change other values.

I don't know how to make a proper patch/diff, sorry.

> and you also change other values.
This is exactly what I have explained in comment 2. Note that the value hasn't change, they just have been reordered in order to be compliant with the att support page.

Ben, is there something that need to be done in order to close this bug? Do you expect me to do these things?

Attachment: The new AT&T data.

I've also reordered the list of subdomain in order to be consistent with att support.

The new AT&T data.

This seems fine, I don't care about the order of domains.

FWIW, I had ordered them by importance / size of the domain, so that we can see quickly that this also handles sbcglobal et al without scanning the whole list.
