This is a summary of how to find email addresses for undergraduate and
graduate students, faculty and staff at various colleges and universities. It
is available on the World-Wide Web (via browsers such as Mosaic or lynx) at
<URL:http://www.qucis.queensu.ca/FAQs/email/college.html>
A chronological list of changes is available at
<URL:http://www.qucis.queensu.ca/FAQs/email/new.html>
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.
For general information about finding e-mail addresses, check the FAQ on How
to find people's E-mail addresses at
<URL:http://www.qucis.queensu.ca/FAQs/email/finding.html>, posted regularly to
soc.net-people and comp.mail.misc.
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/email as the
files faq1.text, ..., faqN.text, where N is the current number of parts. Many
FAQs are available by anonymous ftp from rtfm.mit.edu; this one is in
directory /pub/usenet/soc.college, files
College_Email_Addresses_i_N_[Monthly_posting], for i from 1 to N. You can
also send mail to "archive-server@qucis.queensu.ca" with the subject
send dalamb/email
You can get all the FAQs posted to soc.college by sending a message to "mail-
server@rtfm.mit.edu" whose body contains
send usenet/soc.college/*
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 Information *
******************************************************************************
To avoid repeating long explanations, the entries for individual universities
use a generic acronym for user IDs, formed from f's for characters from the
front of the first name, m's for characters from the front of the middle name,
l's for characters from the front of the last name. Examples are given for
two full names: "Mark Kantrowitz" (no middle initial, long last name) and
"John C Smith".
* 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
* Some sites allow longer "aliases" for finger and for mailboxes. Aliases
might be arbitrary, but some sites allow some form of the user's full
name, such as firstname.lastname [John.Smith or Mark.Kantrowitz] or
firstname_lastname.

World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.abo.fi/>.
e-mail: firstname.lastname@abo.fi, or username@abo.fi. finger:
firstname.lastname@ra.abo.fi, or username@ra.abo.fi. Gopher service
at <URL:gopher://gopher.abo.fi>.
Postal address: Abo Akademi, FIN-20500 Abo
For the following numbers, the area code changes from 21 to 2 on 12
October 1996.
University operator: +358 21 2654 311.
Computing centre help desk: +358 21 2654 777 (e-mail:
oraklet@abo.fi)
Alfred University: Created: Mon Sep 6 1993
(New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred) Bitnet: ALFREDU or
CERAMICS
Almost all students and faculty have email adresses in the form
lastnamefm@bigvax.alfred.edu, 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.
Allegheny College: Created: Mon Jun 26 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.alleg.edu/>.
Students: llllllf@alleg.edu. In case of duplicates, a digit (2-9) is
added.
Faculty and staff: flllllll@alleg.edu.
Allentown College of Saint Francis de Sales (Center Valley, PA): Created: Tue Jun 27 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.allencol.edu/>.
Mail to userid@pooch1.allencol.edu; userid might be fml# or fl##;
operators may have lastname.
Some users may have accounts on accnov.allencol.edu, with the same
naming conventions.
American University: Changed: Thu Jun 22 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.american.edu/>.
Finger firstname or lastname@american.edu works for some faculty and
the occasional student. You generally need to know social security
numbers to find people (!)
Userids since about 1992 have been FLnnnnX@american.edu, where nnnn is
last four digits of social security number, and X is a letter used
to distinguish duplicates (starts with A for the first name, then B,
etc.)
Older userids (e.g for many administrators and faculty) may be FLLLLLL
or Lastnam (7 characters).
Amherst College: Created: Prior to February 1993
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): Changed: Sat Mar 25 1995
Flastname@college.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 help@college.antioch.edu or
jmann@college.antioch.edu.

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.
Atlantic Computer Institute (Halifax, N.S.): Created: Thu Nov 10 1994
Students: userid@aci1.aci.ns.ca. Userid is in the form firstnamel, to
a maximum of 8 characters. If the firstname is less than 7

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: Changed: Mon Jun 19 1995

so mail to firstname.lastname@columbia.edu will probably reach
Barnard recipients.
Bates College (Lewiston, Maine): Created: Prior to February 1993
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

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

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.
You can also access the CSO directory my mail to
directory@bucknell.edu, with a "FIND lastname" command in the body.

Calvin College (Grand Rapids, MI): Changed: Thu Jun 22 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.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)

Carleton College (Northfield, MN):: Created: Thu Jun 15 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.carleton.edu/>.
The most widely used system is carleton.edu, which runs VMS. Student
usernames are usually lastnamf, while staff, alum, faculty usernames
are flastnam.
In cases where two usernames would be identical there is no real
pattern as to how a valid username is constructed. The easiest way
to find someone is to try fingering what you think their username
would be, i.e. smithj@carleton.edu (for the student Jon Smith) or
longstop@carleton.edu (for student Pipi Longstocking). Only an
exact match will return successful.
Other systems include:
mathcs.carleton.edu: This system is growing in popularity and
currently runs NeXTStep. NeXT-mail can be accepted.
physics.carleton.edu: This system runs some sort of UNIX and is
generally limited to physics faculty and majors.
Carleton University (Ottawa, Canada): Created: Tue Jun 27 1995

Most undergraduates are [same username as above]@chat.carleton.ca
(unfingerable).

World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.cmu.edu/>.
Finger @cmu.edu to find people. You can try mailing to
firstname.lastname@cmu.edu, but if there are a lot of John Smiths,
you'll get a bounce message with a list of all the John Smiths.
All undergraduate students and some faculty, staff, and graduate
students: Mail sent to Fname.MI.Lname@andrew.cmu.edu works, even if
the name was slightly misspelled. As of July 1995 users can also
pick arbitrary vanity IDs. Most Andrew login IDs are two initials
followed by two characters that will appear random to outsiders, but
since you can send mail based on their actual names, this shouldn't
matter.
Login IDs are arbitrary; to tell the mailer you're supplying an exact
ID, not to be pattern-matched with closely matching names, 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.
In some departments (e.g CS, Robotics) everybody gets a departmental
account. In others (e.g. English) very few get them. Departmental
addresses include:
Chemical Engineering: cheme.cmu.edu
Computational Linguistics: lcl.cmu.edu
Computer Science Grad: firstname_lastname@cs.cmu.edu
Electrical and Computer Engineering: ece.cmu.edu
English: english.hss.cmu.edu
Humanities & Social Sciences: hss.cmu.edu

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.
