I've noticed a lot of requests for addresses recently, and I thought that I'd
pass along the trick I use to find addresses. Perhaps the system managers who
read this can tell me if this is an acceptable method, or if I should stop.
Many institutions have a file of Internet or BITNET node names of thousands of
universities and research institutions floating around on some directory on the
system. The HELP processor even may tell you how to locate and SEARCH this
file. I usually dig up the name of the node of a machine at the institution
and send a polite request to "POSTMASTER@NODE_NAME" asking if xxx has an
account there. I always get a reply the next day, usually with an email
address.
cheers,
John,
