Probably not (other than sending a  junk file to INTERBIT and seeing what
mailer answers).
 
>and/or which one would handle distributions from LISTSERV ?
 
This  is  absolutely  impossible  to  say, it  depends  on  the  list  of
recipients. Only  CUNY is defined  in the  tables, so LISTSERV  will take
steps  to direct  the  job to  a  place  as close  to  CUNY as  possible.
Depending on  where you are and  what recipients you have,  this could be
any  of a  dozen servers  or  so, which  are served  by different  actual
INTERBIT's. LISTSERV can't do otherwise since there is no place in any of
the network  tables that  even mentions  the other  INTERBIT's. Hopefully
this will change soon.
