- Last-Modified: Sun Mar 20 18:23:48 1994 by David Lamb
- Version: 3.34
-
- This is a summary of how to find email addresses for undergraduate and
- graduate students, faculty and staff at various colleges and universities. If
- your university is not listed, send me a detailed description of how to find
- email addresses there, in a format similar to what I have here, 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 do not have any information about the
- site.
-
- 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 in directory pub/dalamb/college-email
- as the files faq1.text, faq2.text, and faq3.text. Many FAQs are available by
- anonymous ftp from rtfm.mit.edu; this one is in directory
- /pub/usenet/mail/college-email, files part1-part3. You can also send mail to
- "archive-server@qucis.queensu.ca" with the subject
- send dalamb/college-email
- or by sending a message to "mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu" whose body contains
- send usenet/mail/college
-
- 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.
-
- *************************************************************************
- * SPECIAL NOTE: *
- * Avoid public distribution of individuals' addresses *
- *************************************************************************
-
- It is considered rude to widely distribute (e.g., in a Usenet posting)
- anyone's E-mail address without prior consent, even if the address is publicly
- available using one of the techniques described below or some other technique.
-
- It might seem that having one's E-mail address listed in a publicly accessible
- database is equivalent to distributing it, but this is not the case in
- practice, for three primary reasons:
-
- * Some people may not be aware that their addresses are available for others
- to locate. For example, the majority of Usenet posters are unaware of the
- database of Usenet E-mail mentioned in the "finding addresses" FAQ
- (available via anonymous ftp from rtfm.mit.edu in
- pub/usenet/finding_addresses).
-
- * When some effort is required to locate a person's address (e.g., using the
- techniques described below), only people who have a specific reason to send
- mail will go to the trouble. However, if the address is mentioned in a
- Usenet posting read by thousands of people, no effort is required to obtain
- it, and many more people will send mail. Most people with E-mail addresses
- are not accustomed to receiving E-mail from strangers or large amounts of
- E-mail, and they may not be happy if they do.
-
- * As unwanted E-mail becomes more common, people will start to remove their
- addresses from public databases, which means that it will become more
- difficult to find people's addresses for legitimate reasons.
-
- In summary, if you want to advertise someone's E-mail address, get his or her
- permission before you do it. Besides, if you're going to advertise an
- address, it's a good idea to make sure it works first, and writing to it for
- permission is a good way to do that.
-
- [adapted from the "How to find people's E-mail addresses" FAQ, maintained at
- the time by Jonathan Kamens, at the suggestion of Dan Hoey]

-
- ;;; ********************************
- ;;; General Facilities *************
- ;;; ********************************
-
- There are several general facilities for locating an email address.
- We concentrate on those usable from the internet.
-
- o finger Changed: Thu Jul 1 1993
-
- 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 (unless they are also
- on the internet).
-
- o whois/nicname Changed: Tue Jun 29 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 at rs.internic.net (or nic.ddn.mil for U.S.
- military sites) for the given names. For example,
- nicname <name>
- or
- whois <name>
- or
- whois -h <host> <names>
- where <host> is some site with a whois server. 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 rs.internic.net
- 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: Thu Jul 1 1993
-
- Most sites have an individual responsible for network and mail operations
- at the site, usually with the userid of 'postmaster'. These people are
- usually very busy, so before bothering one of them, try telephoning the
- person you are trying to reach. Long distance is expensive for you, but
- less expensive, globally, than the postmaster's time. The one reasonable
- exception is if you're sending mail and getting messages in response that
- suggest some sort of mail system problem; you might report the problem
- to postmaster at your own site, who may in turn contact postmaster at the
- destination site.
-
- Many postmasters will refuse to answer questions about user identification,
- for reasons of privacy, though they may be willing to forward *your*
- address so your intended recipient can write to you.
-
- 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.
-
- o Internet to Prodigy Created: Mon Sep 6 1993
-
- Around July 1993 there were rumours that Prodigy was beta-testing an
- Internet gateway. We don't know if there would be any cost to Prodigy
- users, but they need new software, called Mail Manager, and can sign up for
- Internet access at JUMP INTERNET. Prodigy users would receive Internet mail
- via the address format
- abcd12a@prodigy.com
- where "abcd12a" is the recipient's Prodigy user ID.
-
-
- ;;; ********************************
- ;;; 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 *****************
- ;;; ********************************
-
- Abo Akademi University (Turku, Finland): Created: Mon Sep 6 1993
- Host: finabo.abo.fi. Finger available.
-
- Alfred University Created: Mon Sep 6 1993
- (New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred)
- Internet: bigvax.alfred.edu
- Bitnet: ALFREDU or CERAMICS
- Almost all students and faculty have email adresses in the form
- lastnamefm, but exceptions abound. Connecting via telnet to
- bigvax.alfred.edu and logging on as GENERAL will connect to the
- GENERAL account, which supports username searches. Outside finger is
- not supported.
-
- 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: Changed: Mon Sep 6 1993
- Finger firstname.lastname@asu.edu; all persons (students or staff)
- registered in ASU can be "finger"ed. Email addresses are unreliable
- though since not everyone has started using accounts yet. But most
- grads and computer/usenet literate undergrads do.
-
- The engineering grads/ugrads are on enuxsa.eas.asu.edu. Most other
- machine info should be available from netfind's seed database search.
-
- 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.
-
- Augustana College (Sioux Falls, SD) Created: Fri Oct 8 1993
- user@inst.augie.edu
- Student usernames are fmlastname
- Faculty usernames are lastname
-
- Australian Defence Force Academy (Canberra, Australia) Created: Thu Jul 1 1993
- Faculty and staff: F.Lastname@ADFA.oz.au
-
- 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: Changed: Mon Sep 6 1993
- Barnard College, affiliated with Columbia.
- Students and staff get free accounts on a PC-based system running
- cc:mail (no finger, gopher, etc.) There is no known way of looking
- up addresses. They can also request accounts on Columbia's systems.
- Students: LLLLLFFM@@barnard.columbia.edu (or
- @smtplink.barnard.columbia.edu)
- As of October 1993, Columbia will list Barnard directory information,
- so mail to firstname.lastname@columbia.edu will probably reach Barnard
- recipients.
-
- 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
-
- Baylor University (Waco, TX): Changed: Mon Sep 6 1993
- Computer Science and Engineering students: userid@bilbo.baylor.edu
- Computer Science: gandalf.baylor.edu

- flllllll. Postmaster is bsc835!jbaxter@uunet.uu.net.
-
- Boston Univ.: Changed: Tue Jan 4 1994
- 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

- 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: Thu Jul 1 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, or telnet
- to info.caltech.edu
- 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
-
- Cambridge University (Cambridge, England): Created: Sat Mar 27 1993
- Telnet to info.cam.ac.uk and log in as "info"; you then get an online
- information system about Cambridge, which according to rumour can
- help you find people (though I got lost in a maze of twisty
- hypertext when I tried it).
-
- Carnegie Mellon University: Changed: Mon Aug 23 1993
- Finger @cmu.edu to find people.
- All undergraduate students and some faculty, staff, and graduate
- students: 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. Usernames are arbitrary; to send
- to the username, add a + at the end of the name: mkant+@cs.cmu.edu.
- If you try an ambiguous name, you'll get mail back with a list of
- matches.
- CS Grad: cs.cmu.edu
- ECE: ece.cmu.edu
