I have an itt-tech.edu address (I'm an alumnus).  You will never get
"mail.itt-tech.edu" since that domain does not exist.  All of
ITT's email is run through Outlook.com and Office.com and doesn't have its
own "domain" mail services.

All students have an "itt-tech.edu" address.  All staff and
faculty have an "itt.edu" (IIRC; been a while since I've
checked).

It's easy to harvest addresses via SMTP from a mail server.  I tried it
once via telnet (directly into a SMTP server) and it was child's play.  It
can be (and probably is) easily automated to harvest email addresses.

Now IRCing via telnet is pretty hardcore these days.  I used to do it in
the late 90s from a job I had.  Raw telnet, baby!

Later,
Sean
