For unknown reasons, I got one of these tossed at me by a customer who
inexplicably wants to send mail to an @att.net address
Action: failed
Status: 5.3.0

_is_blocked.For assistance forward this error to
abuse_...@abuse-att.net
Having seen those a half-dozen times in as many years, I pulled up my
last removal request, replaced the different bits, and sent it off to
the address specified by AT&T in their error message:
abuse_...@abuse-att.net
A few seconds later, I get this gem:

That's their Proofpoint inbound filter being told by an actual AT&T
machine that the address they tell people to mail does not exist.
