If your university is not listed, send me a detailed description of how to find email addresses there and I'll add it to this list. Please mail ADDITIONS, CORRECTIONS, SUGGESTIONS, and OTHER INFORMATION to me at dalamb@qucis.queensu.ca. I will *not* answer requests for help finding a specific address; if the school is not listed in this posting, I probably do not have any information about the site, and certainly do not have the time to answer the mail. An updated version of this list is posted every once in a while to the newsgroups soc.college, soc.net-people and news.answers. The version date for this list is located at the top of the file. The list is also available via anonymous ftp from ftp.qucis.queensu.ca (host 130.15.1.100) in the directory pub/dalamb/college-email as the files faq1.text, faq2.text, and faq3.text. You can also get the file by anonymous ftp from rtfm.mit.edu (18.172.1.27) in the file /pub/usenet/soc.college/Student_Email_Addresses, or by sending a mail message to "archive-server@qucis.queensu.ca" with the subject send dalamb/college-email or by sending a message to "mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu" whose body contains send usenet/soc.college/Student_Email_Addresses A copy of this file may be found on the WAIS server at wais.cic.net, thanks to Edward Vielmetti (emv@msen.com, emv@cic.net). After a discussion of general facilities for locating email addresses, we present detailed information on locating the email addresses of students, faculty and staff at various universities. As of Feb 1993 I've started to tag entries with the date I last changed them, so you have some clue as to how stale the information might be. Disclaimer: Most universities have restrictions on the uses of directory information. So don't use this info for commercial purposes or whatnot without securing permission from the individual colleges and universities. ;;; ******************************** ;;; General Facilities ************* ;;; ******************************** There are several general facilities for locating an email address. We concentrate on those usable from the internet. o finger Finger is a user information lookup program that lists the login name, full name, office location and phone number (if known), login time, idle time, time mail was last read, and the contents of the .plan and .project files from the home directory of current UNIX users. The information listed varies from site to site, and not all sites allow remote fingering. [Plan files are "sys$login:plan" on VMS systems.] To use finger, simply call finger as follows finger <username>@<machinename> replacing <machinename> with the name of the appropriate machine, and <username> with the name of the person or the person's login ID. For example, % finger mkant@cs.cmu.edu [CS.CMU.EDU] [ Forwarding mkant as "mkant+@a.gp.cs.cmu.edu" ] [A.GP.CS.CMU.EDU] Login name: mkant In real life: Mark Kantrowitz Directory: /usr2/mkant Shell: /usr/cs/bin/csh Last login Tue Apr 2 15:21 on ttyQ7 from LION.OZ.CS.CMU.EDU No new mail, last read on Thu Apr 11 16:27 Notice how fingering my userid at the generic address forwarded the request to the correct machine. Many universities are set up to do forwarding in this manner, so that mail may be sent to the generic address and is automatically forwarded to the maildrop on the machine where the user receives his or her mail. Fingering using last names or full names may work, depending on the site: % finger Mark.Kantrowitz@cs.cmu.edu [CS.CMU.EDU] [ Forwarding Mark.Kantrowitz as "mkant+@a.gp.cs.cmu.edu" ] % finger kantrowitz@cs.cmu.edu [CS.CMU.EDU] [ Forwarding kantrowitz as "mkant+@a.gp.cs.cmu.edu" ] Some sites with use an underscore (_) instead of a period (.) in the full name (e.g., Mark_Kantrowitz), or require an extra period to specify middle initials (Mark.X.Kantrowitz). If fingering using the last name doesn't work, you can try sampling various possibilities for userids. The following are some possibilities. After the description of each possibility, I give an example in square brackets with either the previous maintainer's name (Mark Kantrowitz, no middle initial - his was longer than mine!) or "John C Smith", and a generic acronym for the method, with f's for characters from the firstname, m for the middle initial, and l's for characters from the lastname; these acronyms will be used in the detailed listings section of this file. - Many UNIX sites limit userids to 8 characters, so try the first 8 characters of the last name. [smith or kantrowi] llllllll - If there are two people with the same last name, the first initial (and possibly the middle initial as well) are appended at the front of the name. [jsmith or jcsmith] flllllll fmllllll - Try appending the initials at the end of the name. [smithj or smithjc] lllllllf llllllfm - Try the initials of the users name. [jcs] fml Unfortunately, you cannot finger to bitnet addresses. o whois/nicname Changed: Tue Feb 23 1993 Whois is the internet user name directory service. Do whois help or nicname -h to get a help message. The whois and nicname programs will check the database maintained by SRI-NIC (Network Information Center at SRI International) for the given names. For example, nicname <name> or whois <name> or whois -h <host> <names> (e.g., whois -h stanford.edu <names>) This is only useful for people listed in the database. Many regional networks and some universities maintain their own NICs. You can also get some of this information by telneting to nic.ddn.mil and running whois and host there. o Merit Network NetMail database Allows one to find the appropriate bitnet, internet or uucp address for a site given part of the address. telnet hermes.merit.edu At the "Which Host?" prompt, type netmailsites then enter any part of the address you want. o nslook/nslookup and hostq programs Some sites have programs which will give you information about a host given its name or IP address. Some such programs include nslook, nslookup, and hostq. o Netfind Use a netfind client or server program to search for name domain where name is the last name of the individual and domain is the domain name. You can use Netfind by telnet/rlogin to bruno.cs.colorado.edu (use userid "netfind" with no password). o gopher Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Gopher is an Internet-wide distributed document retrieval service. If your site has a gopher client program, you can use it to access gopher servers at other sites; domain X.edu might have a gopher server gopher.X.edu, but there's no guarantee. One kind of document sites often place under gopher is their phonebook. Most Gopher servers have pointers to a complete list of ph servers used by all sorts of organizations. You can enter various criteria, in an easy-to-use manner, and it will return the info that you didn't give (if, of course, there are no more than 20 entries that match. This is to prevent people getting mailing lists via the ph servers.) o help/gripe/olc If your site has consultants or facilities staff responsible for helping users/fixing bugs/maintaining software, try sending them mail. Often they will be able to help you. If you don't know how to contact these people, ask someone in your department, or try sending mail to the userid 'help'. o postmaster Changed: Tue Feb 23 1993 Most sites have an individual responsible for network and mail operations at the site, usually with the userid of 'postmaster'. So if you're having trouble with mail, first send mail to postmaster at your site, and if that fails, try sending it to postmaster at the destination site. Postmasters are usually very busy people, so try not to bother them much. Many postmasters will refuse to answer questions about user identification, for reasons of privacy. o /etc/hosts Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993 Mail routing on UNIX machines on the internet use to use a large file called /etc/hosts to validate host names. We used to advise you to examine this file to guess host names when all else fails - but that really isn't useful anymore. Use one of the above methods instead. o LISTSERV If the person is subscribed to a mailing list through a LISTSERV server, sending mail to the server with the line WHOIS <name> may catch the person. For example, listserv@buacca.bu.edu. This is an unlikely option. It also does not work with all listserv implementations. o Internet to America Online Creating the Internet version of an America Online address requires that you know the conversion rule. You ignore the case, remove the spaces, and add "@aol.com" to the end of the address. Thus, an America Online address "Jane Doe" becomes "janedoe@aol.com" (without the quotes, of course). Internet mail incoming to America Online is trucated at 27 kilobytes. ;;; ******************************** ;;; Miscellaneous Notes ************ ;;; ******************************** Addresses on the United Kingdon academic network (JANET) have their components reversed. For example, @uk.ac.dund.mcs works on JANET, but in the rest of the world use @mcs.dund.ac.uk instead. ;;; ******************************** ;;; Email Database ***************** ;;; ******************************** Amherst College: Students, Faculty, Staff: userid@amherst.edu Usernames are of the form fmllllll (e.g., jqstudent), but truncated to 12 letters instead of 8. Amherst.edu has a finger daemon running, but it requires an exact username match (i.e. finger lastname@amherst.edu) doesn't work, as a rule. It's also worth trying usernames like flllllll in case the person in question didn't register their middle initial with the College. Antioch College (Yellow Springs, OH): Flastname@Antioc.Antioch.Edu All students, faculty, administrators, staff, and alum who request accounts can get them. Almost all follow First Initial lastname setup. Offices, such as ADMISSIONS, COOP etc have alias accounts. Best bet is to send mail to Postmaster or Laslow. Arizona State University: Academic Machines: Grad, Undergrad The phone book for ASU's Faculty/Students is available online by telnetting (using the IBM's fullscreen interface using tn3270) to asuvm.inre.asu.edu and logging on as HELLOASU. The phone book has both email addresses for academic machines as well as the phone nos. (602 is the area code for all of Arizona) Engineering machines: Grad, Undergrad enuxha.eas.asu.edu -- Unix -- can finger first/last names or userids enuxva.eas.asu.edu -- Unix -- same as above envmsa.eas.asu.edu -- VMS -- Only userid fingering works. Usually csc and eee undergrads who use comps get accts on enuxha and almost all grads have accts on enuxha which is the most popular machine due to USENET. Auburn University: (Auburn, AL) Engineering: eng.auburn.edu Other departments: ducvax.auburn.edu Try fingering at waterman.eng.auburn.edu, lab1.eng.auburn.edu, newton.eng.auburn.edu or netman.eng.auburn.edu. Australian National University (ANU): Created: Mon Mar 22 1993 Canberra, Australia (Domain: anu.edu.au) netfind: rlogin anu.anu.edu.au -l netfind Academic Machines: Grad, Staff userids fml### where ### is a group identifier. huxley.anu.edu.au -- Unix -- finger on usernames only coombs.anu.edu.au -- Unix -- GNU finger, allows first/last names Undergrad: userds lllfxxxx, where xxxx is course name/unit number. e.g. stuaca11 is A.Student doing Computer Science unit A11. fac3.anu.edu.au -- Unix -- finger on usernames only fac4.anu.edu.au -- Unix -- finger on usernames only Computer Science: boris.anu.edu.au -- Unix -- finger on usernames only Ball State University: University Computing Services: username@bsuvax1.bitnet Some faculty and grad students have accounts on this machine. CS: username@bsu-cs.bsu.edu Barnard: See Columbia. Bates College (Lewiston, Maine): Students and Faculty: userid@abacus.bates.edu Userids are of the form flllllll. Numbers are added to the end of the userid in case of name conflicts, e.g. asmith, asmith2, asmith3 If the name is unique you can use firstname.lastname@bates.edu Baylor College of Medicine: The central mail server is bcm.tmc.edu and finger user@bcm.tmc.edu will get you any faculty or staff user that makes use of the central mail facility. finger user@express.bcm.tmc.edu will get you any student that makes use of the student email facility. whois -h whois.bcm.tmc.edu gets you the on-line phone/address book. This is directly tied to the BCM personnel database, so the information is as accurate as possible. Questions about these facilities should be directed to postmaster@bcm.tmc.edu Birmingham-Southern College (Birmingham, AL): bsc835!userid@uunet.uu.net where userid are of the form flllllll. Postmaster is bsc835!jbaxter@uunet.uu.net. Boston Univ.: Main campus system: acs.bu.edu. Everyone can get accounts on this machine, but not everyone does. Call the person and ask (they may never log on even if they have an account). Student Directory 617-353-3700, Faculty 617-353-2000. Usernames are any "socially acceptable" 8-character name. Unix accounts: Mail or finger user@bu.edu or first.last@bu.edu. Mailing user@bu.edu is currently broken but should be fixed soon. CS: cs.bu.edu Undergrad CS: csa.bu.edu. Engineering: buenga.bu.edu (faculty/admin) In the fall (of 1992) BU will set up a nameserver on bu.edu. Bowdoin: Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993 Studnets: fl*@polar.bowdoin.edu, where f is the first initial, l* is the lastname up to 7 characters. Administrative staff: @henry.bowdoin.edu. Mailboxes are fl* as above, or last_first Faculty: either of the above depending on personal preference. Bradley University: Faculty: bradley.bradley.edu Students: buhub.bradley.edu, camelot.bradley.edu. Usernames are chosen by the user and may be from three to eight characters long. Heartland Freenet: heartland.bradley.edu Free use to the public, used mostly by the Peoria public. Use login 'bbguest'. login names are usually flllllll or fmllllll. Chemistry: chem1.bradley.edu CS: bucs1.bradley.edu, cssun1, cssun2 Physics: truth.bradley.edu Physics: beauty.bradley.edu Brandeis: Undergraduates: pip.cc.brandeis.edu Usernames on pip are of the form STXXYYYY where XX is the year the student entered Brandeis and YYYY is the student's campus mailbox number. Not all students use their accounts, so check with the student before emailing. US mail can be sent to <Student Name> MB <YYYY>, Brandeis University PO Box 9110 Waltham, MA 02254-9110 For phone information: On-campus students can be reached by dialing an automated "spell-the-name" server at +1 617 736 3000 , 24 hours a day, or during business hours through the Brandeis operator at +1 617 736 2000. Off-campus students' numbers can be obtained through the campus information booth at +1 617 736 4770 during business hours. Some undergrads have accounts on a more advanced unix machine, chaos.cs.brandeis.edu. Userids are chosen by the student; finger {lastname}@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu or mail to postmaster@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu for info. Graduate Students: binah.cc.brandeis.edu (brandeis.bitnet). Not all use them; write to postmaster@binah.cc.brandeis.edu for information. Userid is chosen by the student. A few undergrads have binah accounts. DIRECTIONS to Brandeis can be had 24 hours at +1 617 736 4660. Bridgewater State College (Bridgewater, MA) Created: Wed Mar 24 1993 Host: bsc.mass.edu Brown: You can send mail to Firstname_Lastname@Brown.Edu if the user uses email and it will forward the mail to him or her. To find out whether the user has an email address, finger their name at brown.edu. This will return their preferred phone number, address, and email address if they use it. You can also try looking for undergrads on: brownvm.brown.edu (brownvm.bitnet) Username is some random alphanumerics. CS: cs.brown.edu (userids are usually initials) Bryn Mawr College: F_LLLLLLLLLL@cc.brynmawr.edu (F_LLLLLLLLLL@BRYNMAWR.BITNET) The former is fingerable, unlike the .bitnet address. This machine is mostly used by undergrads. Bucknell University: general: username@bucknell.edu cs: username@pollux.bucknell.edu usernames are typically last names, but if the last name is 4 letters or shorter, the first and middle initials are tacked onto the front. First initials are frequently used in usernames. The first user with any given last name who gets an account gets just his last name as the username. Every subsequent person with that name gets a first initial and then middle initials are used. Example: username person -------- ------ murray Betty Murray, switchboard operator dmurray David Murray, senior jmurray Jeff Murray, senior jemurray Jonathan Murray, freshman California Inst. of Tech: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 CCO MACHINES (undergrad/grad/general) CCO means campus computing org. Unix: mail to username@cco.caltech.edu VMS: Juliet.caltech.edu. Also romeo,hamlet,iago,portia. These are all the same vax cluster. Try "whois -h finger.caltech.edu name" to find user names. Undergrad Computer Science (also used by a lot of people who don't fit this discription. a fairly well used cluster. HP Bobcats running Unix). through.ugcs.caltech.edu (aka through.caltech.edu) is the server. Also, with the same endings: within, above, from, toward, around, beyond, over, betwixt, inside, near, besides, beneath, opposite, behind, amongst, atop, astride, against....., vex,heckle,irk,harry,grate,bullyrag,plague,torment, molest, and badger (the irc server). CS department (grad/undergrad/fac...not that well used). csvax.cs.caltech.edu (runs unix). California Polytechnic State Univ./San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly, SLO): polyslo.CalPoly.edu California State University/Chico: csuchico.edu California State University/Sacramento: csus.edu Calvin College: calvin.edu Use 'finger name@calvin.edu' (eg firstname or lastname) to find addresses, since userids include parts of student numbers, so are hard to guess. Students: flllllnn (first intitial, first 5 of last name, last 2 digits of student number; except lastnames starting with Dutch prefixes Van Vander Vande etc., where just the v and first 4 letters of second part of lastname. Thus Henk Vander Bos, #123456, becomes hvbos56, Al Shoemaker, #987654, becomes ashoem54) (formerly s0###### where ###### is the student id number) Faculty/staff: xxxx@calvin.edu where "xxxx" is the standard faculty abbrevation, often lastname Carnegie Mellon University: Undergrad: andrew.cmu.edu Grad CS: cs.cmu.edu Grad Robotics: ri.cmu.edu ECE: ece.cmu.edu Mail sent to Fname.MI.Lname@andrew.cmu.edu works, even if the name is slightly misspelled. Andrew usernames are two initials followed by two random characters. Mail to CS/RI may be sent to Fname.Lname@cs.cmu.edu. CS/RI usernames are arbitrary names selected by the user. If you wish to send to the username, add a + at the end of the name: mkant+@cs.cmu.edu bitnet.cc.cmu.edu (carnegie.bitnet) is the gateway to bitnet. The CMU.EDU domain name has now been enabled for use of the new campus-wide mail/finger service. Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Use 'whois -h whois.cwru.edu' to find usernames. It supports substring and soundex searches. If there is a * beside an address, it has not been activated. po.cwru.edu is the post office. Every student, professor, and staff member has access to email through this machine, as do alumni who activated their accounts while students. (Not everybody activates their account, however.) User ids are of the form fml##, where ## is a number, probably less than 30. The number is omitted if equal to 1. If there's no middle initial, m is an 'x'. skybridge.scl.cwru.edu is the server for the undergraduate Unix lab. The user ids on that machine are the full last name, for the most part. (Mainly Computer Engineering and EE's on this machine.) You can also search the Cleveland Freenet user list for CWRU people by any part of the name; telnet to freenet-in-a.cwru.edu, choose "Visitor", "Explore the system" and at the prompt, "go directory" CS/computer engineering majors may have accounts on the CS cluster; finger any part of the name @alpha.ces.cwru.edu. Userids are usually full last name. EE majors and those in related courses may have accounts on the EE HP/UX cluster; finger @snowhite.eeap.cwru.edu. Userids are usually the first six letters of the last name. Catholic University of America username@cua.edu (Internet) username@cua.bitnet (BITNet) All usernames are limited to 12 characters. For students, names are 2 digits followed by lastname. For faculty and staff, usernames are the last name, occasionally with the first initial tacked on at the end. City University of New York (CUNY): cunyvm.bitnet Userids: Students: A99SC Faculty: AAASC Liasons: LIASC Where A is any letter from A to Z Where 9 is any number from 1 to 9 And SC is the initals for the college within City University. For example: HC - Hunter College QC - Queens College BC - Brooklyn College SI - College of Staten Island LG - Laguardia Community College BB - Bernard Baruch College. YC - York College Claremont McKenna College, Claremont, CA: flast@cmcvx1.claremont.edu (VAX-VMS) Clark College: firstname.lastname@clark.edu, or userid@clark.edu. Send mail to postmaster@clark.edu if you have difficulty. Note: this is not Clark University (clarku.edu). Clark University: vax.clarku.edu and black.clarku.edu Clarkson University: craft.camp.clarkson.edu _ALL_ students are given an account on this machine. sun.soe.clarkson.edu School of Engineering Sun server. A lot of students doing research have accounts on this machine. clvm.clarkson.edu Administrative computer. Fairly isolated. Profs. and Admin. have accounts on this computer for things like class lists. (I'm not sure how much use this is because it seems that all you can do is find out if someone is logged in or not.) craft.camp and sun.soe are very usefull for finding students and many faculty also have accounts on these machines. Clemson University: clemson.clemson.edu (VMS) Engineering: eng.clemson.edu Cleveland State University: Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993 CIS faculty may be reached at lastname@cis.csuohio.edu. Engineering students with an account on the vax cluster may be reached at the following address: xxx9999@csvaxd.csuohio.edu, where xxx is the first three letters of their last name and 9999 is the last four digits of their social security number. A possible person to ask for help might be Linda Herrington at linda@csvaxd.csuohio.edu. Colby: f_m_lastname@colby.edu You can figure username, firstname, or lastname. College of William & Mary (Williamsburg, VA): fmllll@news.cc.wm.edu Colorado College: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Students: F_LLLLLLLL@ccnode.colorado.edu Faculty: FLLLLLL@ccnode.colorado.edu. This does not support finger since it is not a real internet node. Columbia: Undergrads, Grads: cunix{a,b,f}.cc.columbia.edu Columbia students [only] can get free accounts. Anybody affiliated with Columbia, Barnard, and Teachers College can pay for an account which has less limitations than the free ones. The best way to finger them is name@cunix.cc.columbia.edu. CS Grads and Faculty: cs.columbia.edu (also, some cs undergrads) Astrophysics people can be found at cuphyd.phys.columbia.edu Also try: ctr.columbia.edu. This has EE faculty and students who are affiliated with the Center for Telecommunications Research. Law School (Students): student@lawmail.law.columbia.edu The students e-mail name is there lastname plus the first initial oftheir first name, so long as this is 8 characters or less. Otherwise it is their FML initials. Duplication is distinguished by appending a number, such as the graduation year. All faculty and staff are also located on lawmail.law.columbia.edu lawmail.law.columbia.edu currently does not respond to finger inquiries. Any questions regarding mail addressing should be directed to: postmaster@lawmail.law.columbia.edu General access questions can be sent to: culaw-cc@lawmail.law.columbia.edu which will reach the law school computer center operations desk. Mailing lists are serviced by listserv.law.columbia.edu Current lists served are: lawplacement issues relating to career oppurtunities calr computer aided legal research foreignlaw clerkship issues relating to federal clerkships oppurtunities legal-history death-penalty crimlaw-enforcement issues to criminal cases in the news conlaw constitutional law issues public-intlaw public intrest law eastern-europe privatizations issues in Eastern europe and legal reform Request to subscribe should be sent to: request-maillist@sparc-1.law.columbia.edu Some lists are restricted. Cornell College (Mount Vernon, Iowa) Most Usernames are FLLLLLL, some may be LLLLLL or FFFFFF. Mail to username@cornell-iowa.edu Finger: CS: turing.csc.cornell-iowa.edu Others: hera.acn.cornell-iowa.edu zeus.acn.cornell-iowa.edu Cornell University (Ithaca, New York): Anyone associated with Cornell full-time can get a CIT account (CIT manages the computing facilities on campus). Not everybody does so. As off fall 1992, undergrads are no longer given CornellA or Vax5 accounts as they were in the past. Instead, incoming students are given "network ids", which consist of first, middle and last initials, plus a number. Mail should be sent to network_id@cornell.edu. If the person's name is unique, mail can also be sent to firstname.lastname@cornell.edu. Email addresses can be searched by using finger on qi.cornell.edu. Use variations such as finger lastname@qi.cornell.edu or finger "firstname lastname"@qi.cornell.edu. Many upperclassmen have not switched over to the new mail system. These students still use mail on cornella.cit.cornell.edu or vax5.cit.cornell.edu. Usernames on these systems are randomly generated 3 or 4 character IDs, which do not resemble real names. [Actually, they are an (unknown) hash function of the student's social security number.] Some upperclass students who have network ids still only check mail on cornella and vax5. If they haven't set up autoforwarding, they will not receive mail sent to cornell.edu. Undergrads: crux1.cit.cornell.edu, crux2.cit.cornell.edu, crux3.cit.cornell.edu, vax5.cit.cornell.edu, cornella.cit.cornell.edu Faculty and staff may ask to have a 3-character username of their choice. Faculty are typically on cornella and staff on cornellc, but there are many exceptions. Faculty and administrators who use QuickMail can generally be found as first_last@qmrelay.mail.cornell.edu. Postmaster won't give out addresses. Administrators do not give out usernames over the phone. Students' street addresses and phone numbers, as well as voluntarily-supplied email addresses (faculty and staff only), can be looked up in CUINFO. Telnet to cornellc.cit.cornell.edu, port 300, and type DIRECT. AIX/370 folks: eagle.tc.cornell.edu CS: cs.cornell.edu, svax.cs.cornell.edu, cornellf.tc.cornell.edu, or theory.tc.cornell.edu (supercomputing center) EE: ee.cornell.edu Bitnet: cornella.bitnet, crnlvax5.bitnet, cornellc.bitnet (gateway). Dakota State University (Madison, SD): finger dsuvax.dsu.edu for electronic mail addresses for any member of the faculty, staff, or student body. Addresses are typically the first seven characters of the person's last name plus the first character of the person's first name. Please address questions to postmaster@dsuvax.dsu.edu. Dartmouth: Send mail to fname.lname@dartmouth.edu (or fname.mi.lname if it is a very common name). If the name is ambiguous, you might want to finger fname.mi.lname@dartmouth.edu for info about exact mail address. Dartmouth.Edu resolves all mail through the Dartmouth Name Directory, which stores preferred email addresses for all students, faculty, and staff members. If the name is unique, you can even send mail to name@dartmouth.edu. Most undergrads have accounts on mac.dartmouth.edu. Students who don't use any email address get the automatic default, @hinman.dartmouth.edu, which prints out the email and drops it into campus mail. Dickinson College (Carlisle, PA): Created: Wed Mar 24 1993 Addresses at Dickinson College are of the following format: username@dickinson.edu for example, postmaster@dickinson.edu username@dickinsn.bitnet postmaster@dickinsn.bitnet Usernames are typically the lastname (truncated at 8 characters) suffixed with the first few letters of the firstname when needed for uniqueness. Examples: Username Person -------- ------ jackson Joe Jackson jacksonb Bill Jackson jacksobo Bob Jackson Drake University: Host acad.drake.edu. 'finger' works but unfortunately userids don't closely correspond to names and you can't 'finger part-of-name' to guess the userid. Drew University (Madison, NJ): All students, faculty, and staff have accounts on drew.drew.edu (drew.bitnet). Whether they use them is another matter. Account names are usually of the form flllllll. In case of name collision, try fmllllll or fllllll# Drexel University General Computing Services: userid@duvm.ocs.drexel.edu consultant's desk telephone 215.895.2698 Math and Computer Science : userid@mcs.drexel.edu where userid is of the form <prefix>fllllll; the prefix is u for undergraduate, g for graduate, or t for temporary. Duke: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Finger name@wp.duke.edu (IP address 128.109.140.14) Duke University Computer Assist Center provides general use accounts for most students and faculty. Mail addressed to <user>@acpub.duke.edu should be forwarded to the appropriate account on any of the Academic Computing hosts. Computer Science is cs.duke.edu. Math is math.duke.edu; physics.duke.edu and law.duke.edu also exist (along with lots of other departmental domains.) There is also a BITNET site (dukemvs.ac.duke.edu or dukemvs.BITNET) Account names are NOT standardized on any of the systems. Math profs are probably {initials}@math.duke.edu Physics profs are probably {initials}@physics.duke.edu Duke Law School is under the address charon.law.duke.edu, which is fingerable, but student.law.duke.edu seems to be the better mailing address. Usernames can be hard to discover; postmaster@faculty.law.duke.edu has volunteered to forward mail to Law School faculty and staff, and suggests postmaster@student.law.duke.edu might be willing to do the same for students. Finger Undergrads, Grads, and many Faculty/Staff: The mail server is bacchus.acpub.duke.edu. Mail to other machines will get forwarded to it. For usernames, people are allowed to select their own. However, the Engineering school has taken to setting up accounts for its students, grads, and ugrads, and uses initials (fml) with possibly a number in case of name conflict. Everyone else could have anything as their userid, though people are encouraged to use their first initial and last name. Bitnet gateway: dukemvs.bitnet (dukemvs.ac.duke.edu) Math profs are probably {initials}@math.duke.edu Physics profs are probably {initials}@physics.duke.edu Other machines: cs.duke.edu, egr.duke.edu, psych.duke.edu Duke Law School is under the address charon.law.duke.edu, which is fingerable, but student.law.duke.edu seems to be the better mailing address. Usernames can be hard to discover; postmaster@faculty.law.duke.edu has volunteered to forward mail to Law School faculty and staff, and suggest postmaster@student.law.duke.edu might be willing to do the same for students. Earlham: Students, faculty, staff: FFFFFFFL@yang.earlham.edu Administration: FFFFFFFL@yin.earlham.edu Advanced computing students: FFFFFFFL@math.earlham.edu in the case of an 8-character first name, the userid is FFFFFFFF in the case of conflicts, the userid is FFFFFFLL, FFFFFLLL, etc. increasingly, students are being assigned userid's in the format: xxyz@yang.earlham.edu, where xx is the first two letters of the first name, y is the middle initial, z is the last name initial. Information can be sought via E-Mail from opr@yang.earlham.edu opr can get you directory info, or user info. Emory University (Atlanta, GA): Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Use 'finger name@emory.edu' (name = first, last or login). Florida Atlantic University Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993 The local ACM chapter runs cybernet.cse.fau.edu, on which everyone can get accounts, and many FAU students (and some faculty) use it. Florida State University Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 A very low percentage of students and faculty outside the science departments have accounts of any kind. Those that do are spread out on many servers with the fsu.edu domain. Most new non-science accounts are being created on garnet.acns.fsu.edu, though few students (or even faculty) are aware that they could get an account. To find addresses, if you have a gopher client program, do gopher gopher.fsu.edu and select the 'Phonebooks (People and Organizations)' menu entry, then the 'Quick search of FSU directory (PH)' within that menu. Other alternatives include: 1: email whitepages@wp.fsu.edu with the words whois "name" in the subject line, with no message body 2: whois -h mailer.fsu.edu "name" Gallaudet University (for the Deaf), Washington, DC 20002 GALLUA.GALLAUDET.EDU a VAX/VMS machine. Student usernames typically start with 11, 12, 13 or 14, with 11 being the most common. The rest of the username is first initial last name. Faculty and staff are typically first initial, middle initial, last name. The node is also reachable as GALLUA.BITNET. GALLUX.GALLAUDET.EDU a VAX/Ultrix (UNIX) machine. Not nearly as many users on this machine. Name conventions are the same as for GALLUA. Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech): Changed: Fri Feb 26 1993 All Users: prism.gatech.edu (aka hydra.gatech.edu) Prism is a Yellow Pages/Mail domain to which all students, faculty and staff have access through accounts issued by the computer center. A number of users, especially faculty and graduate students in Computer Science, have access to departmental resources which are not part of the Prism domain. They may get their mail there, though typically people use prism as their main mail drop and forward it from there to their home systems. All faculty and staff are also reachable as firstname.lastname@group.gatech.edu where group is usually the name of the college, school, center, etc. Current groups include: aerospace, alumni, arch, atdc, audit, berc, biology, bks, business, carnegie, cc (college of computing), cds, ce, che, chemistry, coe, conted, coop, cos, crt, eas, econ, ee, erc, facilities, grad, gstrf, gtaa, gtrc, gtri, health, history, housing, iac, inta, intprog, ipst, irp, isye, lcc, library, marc, math, vpea, vpss, ymca. CS Dept (Faculty, staff, PhD students): boa.gatech.edu, firstname.lastname@cc.gatech.edu. (cc = College of Computing) Usernames: students: gtXXXXy (example: gt6953b), where XXXX = last 4 digits of Campus PO Box, y = A-E to make it unique (PO Boxes are shared) faculty/staff: firstname.lastname@department.gatech.edu Also try: username@hydra.gatech.edu, Glassboro State College: Below is a list of computers and who uses them. For help, send mail to postmaster on whichever one seems the most appropriate. If you're not sure, send it to postmaster@saturn.glassboro.edu. For those with access to gopher you can find current email info on our server. It includes most of the electronic mail addresses on campus. heroes.glassboro.edu administrative departments secretaries some faculty saturn.glassboro.edu Academic Computing students faculty elan.glassboro.edu all School of Business faculty students irp.glassboro.edu Institutional Research and Planning gboro.glassboro.edu Computer Science faculty students Most students are accessible via <username>%saturn.dnet@glassboro.edu. Student usernames are last name, with first initial added to the end if needed. Note that you cannot finger glassboro.edu at present, but should be able to by July or August 1991. Grinnell College, Iowa: Addresses at Grinnell College are of the following format: username@nodename e.g., POSTMASTER@GRIN1.bitnet or POSTMASTER@GRIN2.bitnet Usernames are typically the first 8 letters of the person's last name, frequently with the first initial or first and middle added at the end (e.g., WILLIAMS, MILLERM, JOHNSOAS). As a result, it would be difficult to guess someone's username. The nodename is GRIN1.bitnet for all students and faculty; GRIN2.bitnet is for administrative staff. If you do not know the address of someone at Grinnell, please send a message to POSTMASTER@GRIN1.bitnet asking for help. Grinnell College now has an Internet connection - ac.grin.edu. Gustavus Adolphus College (St. Peter, MN) Created: Wed Mar 24 1993 Finger at llllllll@gacvx1.gac.edu for vax accounts, or fmllllll@nic.gac.edu for Unix accounts. Hampshire College (Amherst, MA): username@hamp.hampshire.edu, where username is of the form fllllll Haverford: Students: acc.haverford.edu Harvard: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Employees: flllllll@harvard.edu and firstname_lastname@harvard.edu Finger @husc.harvard.edu to find mail destinations. husc{8,9,10,11}.harvard.edu are Unix machines, which is what most people use for e-mail. husc{3,4,6,7,12}.harvard.edu are VMS machines, used a bit for mail, but more for application server for the MAC/PC networks, etc. Undergrads: @husc.harvard.edu, @husc9.uucp Username is lastname or flllllll or fmllllll, with a number appended in case of duplicates. Center for Astrophysics: @cfa.harvard.edu All Harvard Medical School students now have accounts on student.med.harvard.edu. The system is relatively new, however, and the number who actually use them now appears to be small. The usernames are of the form fllllll@student.med.harvard.edu. This is a distributed PC system, and users are not fingerable. Harvard Law School students may have accounts on hulaw{1,2}.harvard.edu. These machines are fingerable, but usernames must be matched exactly to be found. Harvey Mudd, Claremont CA: Undergrads: flastname@hmcvax.claremont.edu or flllllll@jarthur.claremont.edu; in case of name conflicts more letters of firstname are used. hmcvax is more likely for class of '94 and before; jarthur for '95 and up. CS faculty: lastname@jarthur.claremont.edu Other faculty: lastname@hmcvax.claremont.edu Administration: flastname@hmcadm.claremont.edu finger fullname@jarthur.claremont.edu usually works, but users can change their fullnames to anything Illinois Institute of Technology: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Domain IIT.EDU has servers on iitmax.iit.edu and karl.iit.edu. Student usernames are llllfff. One correspondent said: "try lastname@IITVAX1.BITNET@UICVM.UIC.EDU" Illinois State University (Bloomington, Illinois) FMLastname@ilstu.edu. Most students do not have internet access. Finger works. Indiana University: Faculty, Staff, Students: username@ucs.indiana.edu Usernames are portions of the person's real name. 8 characters, usually the last name plus maybe a few initials. Student/Staff VAX/VMS machines: (main nodes) gold.ucs.indiana.edu, aqua.ucs.indiana.edu, jade.ucs.indiana.edu, amber.ucs.indiana.edu, rose.ucs.indiana.edu silver.ucs.indiana.edu -- Unix, All students ( mostly CS undergrads) copper.ucs.indiana.edu -- These two are VAXen running Ultrix (UNIX) They're student machines. bronze.ucs.indiana.edu -- This is DEC RISC (Not a VAX) running Ultrix. Staff only... iuvax.cs.indiana.edu -- Unix, CS students ( mostly grad students and faculty ) The email address of any student, faculty, or staff member at Indiana can be found out by doing a "finger lastname@indiana.edu" or "whois -h indiana.edu lastname" or "whois -h iugate.ucs.indiana.edu lastname" Type "finger help@indiana.edu" or "whois -h indiana.edu help" for more information about the service. Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM): Students: mtecv2.mty.itesm.mx (vax machine) academ01.mty.itesm.mx (RS/6000) Userids begin with BL plus the id number of the student, i.e., bl205102. Every student can ask for an account on the vax machine. There are other computing facilities as well. Iowa State University: fname_mi_lastname@iastate.edu Johns Hopkins: Accounts are located on jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu jhuvms.hcf.jhu.edu jhuvm.hcf.jhu.edu All are on bitnet. The default userid is of the form lllll_fm or llllll_f. However, students may choose whatever userid they wish, which can be just about anything. Kalamazoo College: fllllll@kzoo.edu Kansas State Univ.: Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993 VM/XA: ksuvm.ksu.edu. All students, faculty, and staff. This is by far the most popular machine. KSUVM has a homebrewed finger server that allows you to search for KSU students, faculty, and staff. Usage is "finger lastname,firstname@ksuvm.ksu.edu" This does a fuzzy lookup so you don't have to get the spelling exact and returns the KSUVM userid (if any) plus name, address, phone number, major (if student), and classification. If you know the KSUVM userid you can look that up with "finger userid-xxx@ksuvm.ksu.edu" (where "xxx" is the userid you want to find). Unix: matt.ksu.ksu.edu All students, faculty, and staff. depot.cis.ksu.edu CS faculty, staff, and grads. cygnus.cis.ksu.edu CS undergrads. eece.ksu.edu EE grads and faculty. math.ksu.edu Math staff, faculty, grads, and some undergrads. Kenyon College: username@kenyon.edu Username is usually the last name, sometimes with initials tacked onto the end. LaSalle University (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) Host hp800.lasalle.edu Faculty, Staff, and student staff: use last name, eg. jones (llllllll) Course accounts: xnnn0mmm or xnnnamm, where x is 1-letter course name (e.g. c for computer science), nnn is 3 digit course id, 0 or a is entered exactly as shown, and mmm or mm is the student's individual number within the course) Incoming finger (from the Internet) does not yet work. Lehigh University: Undergrads: username@lehigh.edu (ns1.cc.lehigh.edu) Help with specific userids can be obtained from lucc@ns1.cc.lehigh.edu. Lehigh has installed "white pages" server on lehigh.edu. Fingering for a person's first or last name (case insensitive) at lehigh.edu will return all relavant user info (email address, full name etc.) Lenoir-Rhyne College (Hickory, NC 28603): E-mail address is username@alice.lrc.edu or Username@mike.lrc.edu. Louisiana State University (Baton Rouge): CS: csvax.csc.lsu.edu EE: max.ee.lsu.edu SNCC (S/m Network Comp Center): lsu500.sncc.lsu.edu Macalester College (Saint Paul): Every student and faculty member has an account on the college's VAX system. Many students have additional accounts on departmental machines. These instructions are for finding someone on the VAX. Finger userid@macalstr.edu, where userid is of the form flllllll for students, and lname for faculty. Numbers are added to the end of the userid in case of name conflicts. McGill University: Computer Science profs, grads, and ugrads have mail forwarded from login_name@cs.mcgill.ca to the correct machine. Currently all profs have their accounts on opus.cs.mcgill.ca, and grads and undergraduates have accounts on binkley.cs.mcgill.ca. Memphis State University: Undergrads: memstvx1.memst.edu (memstvx1.bitnet) memstvx1 is a VAX connected to both internet and bitnet, and also serves as the domain name server for memst.edu While it does support Finger, it only reports users currently logged on. All instructional account usernames are dependent on the course title (e.g. MATH1234567 would be an account for a Math class) Grads and Staff accounts are usually First_InitialLastname e.g. JSMITH for John Smith (but there are exceptions) Some departments have their own machines, but the majority of accounts are on the VAX. Merrimack College: (inquiries to postmaster@merrimack.edu welcome) Faculty: except in extraordinary circumstances lastname@merrimack.edu Undergrads: Aliases exist for most students as First.MI.Last@merrimack.edu REAL ids are usually lastnamefirstinitial@merrimack.edu with dups getting lastfirstinitmiddleinit@merrimack.edu For example: Jane A. Smith -> jane.a.smith and smithj@merrimack.edu Joe L. Smith -> joe.l.smith and smithjl@merrimack.edu Millsaps College: All faculty, staff, and students are userid@okra01.millsaps.edu. Userid is produced from first five letters of last name, first two initials - merged without spaces. In case of no middle initial, nothing is used. In case of name conflicts, numbers are added to the end to produce unique userid's. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): Finger name@mit.edu for info about the person and mail address. This is the same info that's used to create the MIT phonebook, so it is as accurate. (One can finger help@mit.edu for instructions in using this service.) All students and faculty may get an account from Project Athena. Their mail address will be @athena.mit.edu, even though athena is a distributed workstation environment. Finger @ai.mit.edu for AI graduate students, faculty, and some undergrads. Also try @media-lab.mit.edu (= media-lab.media.mit.edu) for the MIT Media Lab. Try @lcs.mit.edu for Laboratory of Computer Science faculty, staff, and students. Also, MIT math professors can be found on math.mit.edu (a.k.a. bourbaki.mit.edu; however, this information is already accessible from fingering mit.edu information. MITVMA.MIT.EDU is the gateway to bitnet. Michigan State Univ.: @frith.egr.msu.edu @eecae.ee.msu.edu, @kira.ee.msu.edu @cpsin.cps.msu.edu @cpsvax.cps.msu.edu All college of Engineering students and faculty (includes CPS students) that have requested an account will have the address: user@egr.msu.edu (user@msuegr.bitnet) where "user" is usually the last name, but is often some other combination of first name, initials, etc to provide uniqueness throughout the college. In Addition, CPS students and faculty can receive mail at user@cps.msu.edu with the rules for "user" being the same as above. As far as I know, the same user-id is used on both "egr.msu.edu" and "cps.msu.edu". General EMAIL accounts are available on Computer Center machines, usually the IBM3090. user@ibm.cl.msu.edu user@msu.bitnet and also the Convex user@convex.cl.msu.edu I don't know what the rules are for determining user IDs for Computer Center machines. MSU Information is (517) 355-1855. Michigan Technological University: mtus5.cts.mtu.edu or mtus5.bitnet most students have accounts with the format FMLASTNA First initial-Middle initial-LASTNAMe (8 letters total) finger does not work on these machines. Minnesota State University System: Faculty (all campuses): userid@msus1.bitnet Faculty/Students (Mankato State Univ.): userid@vax1.mankato.msus.edu Mississippi State univ. Mail in the form fml#@ra.msstate.edu or fml#@isis.msstate.edu.. The Number will normally range 1 and 4, it stands for the student number (First one with given set of initials to apply for internet access) Mount Holyoke College: "mhc." may be omitted: a. flllllll@mhc.mtholyoke.edu b. fmllllll@mhc.mtholyoke.edu c. llllllll@mhc.mtholyoke.edu Mount Royal: mtroyal.ab.ca Student's userids are of the form llllll#### where # are the first four digits of the student id. Staff userids are of the form flastname. Entries beginning with N may be found in the next posting (file .../college-email/faq2.text via anonymous FTP). ;;; *EOF* -- Software Technology Laboratory dalamb@qucis.queensu.ca (David Alex Lamb) Computing and Information Science phone: (613) 545-6067 Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada K7L 3N6 |
