Not quite - it's

listserv%vccscent@-----.edu

There are any number of other BITNET gateway addresses which could be put
after the @-----. The gateway machine will discard the =gateway part of the
address and turn the remaining % into an = and send the message on its
merry BITNET way. Many machines on the Internet are also configured to
rewrite an address in the form

listserv@-----.bitnet

into the appropriate form with the % and gateway info.
