Thomas, I wouldn’t rely on the email address in PeopleSoft being accurate. Maybe it is for your particular incoming students, but I don’t think there is any general practice by which this is being updated in PeopleSoft.
The information you are looking for can be retrieved from the Enterprise Directory. You can script the Directory lookup for your list of students. The attribute cornelleduactivateddt contains the date of the most recent NetID activation, and cornelledumailroutingtime contains the time the person most recently used WhoIAm to set mailrouting. If these are set, you can reliably send email to netid@cornell.edu with the expectation that the mail will be delivered and read.
