Dann muesste ich es ja raussuchen... na gut. Hier also der
entsprechende Ausschnitt aus dem Artikel von John Kamens:

*. Usenet-addresses server

  If you think that your target may be on the USENET and may have
posted a message to the USENET at some point in the past, you might be
able to find his/her address in the USENET address database on the
machine pit-manager.mit.edu.

  To query the database, send an E-mail message to
"mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu" with "send usenet-addresses/name" in
the body or subject of the message.  The "name" should be one or more
space-separated words for which you want to search; since the search
is fuzzy (i.e., all of the words you specify do not have to match),
you should list all of the words you think might appear in the
address, including (for example) first and last name, possible
username, and possible components of the host name (e.g. "mit" for a
person who you think is at MIT).  The case and order of the words you
list are ignored.

  Note that multiple requests can appear (on separate lines) in mail
to the mail server, but each request will be answered in a separate
message.

  In many cases, you will get a list of quite a few matching
addresses, and you will have to go through it looking for ones that
may be the one you're looking for.  However, the mail server will
return a maximum of only 40 matches.

  Note that the usenet-addresses database is accessible via WAIS (in
fact, the script that does mail server searches is actually just a
front-end to a WAIS database) on two different hosts:
pit-manager.mit.edu and cedar.cic.net.  In both cases, the database is
called "usenet-addresses" and is on port 210.  Note that the version
on pit-manager is slightly more up-to-date with respect to the master
address list than the version on cedar.  If you don't know what WAIS
is, then don't worry about this paragraph; if you're curious, see the
"comp.infosystems.wais" newsgroup.

  For more details about how to use the database, send the command
"send usenet-addresses/help".
