If your iSeries is delivering the mail directly to the recipient's mail
servers, then AT&T won't have any effect on it. 

The only time ISP mail servers become iffy is if the email sender is
outside their network. Then they require authentification to connect.
This is accomplished by installing a plugin in exchange, I have no idea
how to configure the iSeries mail server to do it.
