If I ever get into a situation where I can't figure out the address, I just pick one of my guesses and bcc all the rest.

Sure, they might think it's a little weird if they notice they're in the bcc field, but it sure is a lot easier than sending off a single email and spending the next few days wondering if it actually went through.

hmm. I thought the whole point of BCC was "blind carbon-copy". Meaning the person would be unaware as to who else was sent the email?
They would know they were in the BCC field if the "To" address was not their correct address.
The trick I've seen is to put your own email in the to field, and all destinations in the bcc
