AT&T

AT&T owns a number of domains, including SBC and Bellsouth. Some AT&T domains also use Yahoo filtering rules to send mail to the bulk folder¹.

Delivering to AT&T

There are no published limits for connection or sending limits. I have seen claims of limits of 2 connections per IP and 30 connections per IP, but there has been no data presented for either claim.
