Which E-lists are Hosted by CIT? (Lyris)

This article applies to: E-lists (Lyris)

CIT hosts more than 5500 different e-lists, serving more than 1,600,000 members. There are millions of lists hosted in other places. So how do you tell whether these web pages apply to the list you're interested in? A quick look at the email address of the list will tell you. CIT-hosted lists have addresses that end with

-L@cornell.edu
(a hyphen, the letter "L" (uppercase OR lowercase), the "at" sign, then "cornell.edu")

Here are some examples (some of which are fictitious).

Hosted by CIT

  • students-L@cornell.edu
  • cit-alert-L@cornell.edu
  • class-of-1935-L@cornell.edu
  • sheep-shearing-L@cornell.edu 

Not Hosted by CIT

  • students-L@law.cornell.edu 
    The address after the @ sign has to be just cornell.edu not something.cornell.edu.
    Lists with a something.cornell.edu address are hosted by an individual school or unit at Cornell, but not CIT.
  • limnological@cornell.edu 
    The "limnological" address doesn't have"-L" just before the @ sign.
  • cu-1935-L@cornellclub.org 
    The domain name has to be cornell.edu and not just something close to it.
  • sheep-shearing@rancher.net 
    Not even close...
