Google Hacking

[allen.deryke at hushmail.com (Allen Deryke)]

You could try common nameing conventions like joh.doe at company.org, jdoe at company.org 
, or sometimes j.doe at company.org. The smaller companys may use first  
name only.  Once you know one address it's easy to guess the others.

If the company has taken a strong stance on spam they may be using AD/ 
LDAP to verify email address's. I've seen a bunch of implementations  
and none I've seen have a bullet proof way of preventing directory  
harvesting.

One of the best ways to confirm an email is an annoying but  
ligitimante looking mailing list/ news letter with a loaded  
unsubscribe link. Send a bunch and a normal person will go running for  
that link, you can just check your webservers logs from there.
