When an email is sent from a company's website, is there any way of finding out the address to which it was sent if they don't reply? Many thanks.

If I read you right,are you asking if a company send (say) an email to me and I don't reply,is there any way of someone (not in the company I assume) finding out the address is was sent to?
That depends on whether the sent email (copy in the PC that sent it)had been deleted or not.
Why do you want/need to know the address it was sent to?
This is one of the reasons that you should never reply/unsubscribe from spam.Once you do so the company knows that you have a "live" address and will continue to pester you.
I am sorry if I have not answered you,but your question is not that clear.

Thanks, Mr Veritas, but it's the opposite way around. A website says 'contact us' and there's an email form for me to fill in and submit. Can I find out the address it's been sent to? Liz
Not unless you can somehow hack the company's web server and look at their code!

It's highly likely these days that the mail will be sent via client-side JavaScript. Usually, it's done by code on the server.
And, by "likely", I of course mean "unlikely"... :-)

Which website is it? Maybe we can find out for you?

Thanks guys, but they eventually got back to me. Liz
Aw I wanted to practice my hacking skills. Still, glad you got it sorted.
