Yes, it's called VIRTU-L:

VIRTU-L is the mailing list mirror of sci.virtual-worlds. Greg Newby
<gbnewby@uiuc.edu> is the administrator. He can be contacted if you
experience problems with the automated system.

To subscribe to the list, send an e-mail message to the automated list
server <listserv@postoffice.cso.uiuc.edu>, with the following text in the
body of the message:

subscribe listname Your Full Name

(of course you need to replace "listname" with "virtu-l" and you need to
replace "Your Full Name" with your actual name, do not use quotes and do not
use your userid).

For anyone out there who receives sci-vw by the e-mail listserver, and who
prefers individual postings rather than the "digest" format, just send a
note to listserv@postoffice.cso.uiuc.edu with a blank subject line, and the
following in the body:

set virtu-l nodigests

For more information consult the lists' FAQ in the sci.virtual-worlds ftp
site:

Note: VIRTU-L is NOT a moderated group, submissions mailed to
<virtu-l@postoffice.cso.uiuc.edu> are posted directly to that list.
Sci.virtual-worlds _is_ moderated and does_not_ post automatically. Hence,
posting to virtu-l is automatic and posting to sci.virtual-worlds might take
longer (moderator must read and post). Also, sci.virtual-worlds' posting
contain subject tags in the subject heading and might contain comments by
the moderator. Submissions that are posted (in other words, accepted) to
sci.virtual-worlds are also mailed to the VIRTU-L mailing list. However,
VIRTU-L postings are not always accepted to sci.virtual-worlds.
