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...
