You leak information about yourself all the time online. If someone is somewhat technically skilled, they can often get random information about you.

In this case, I'd suspect the "forward of a forward" method Silvy came up with. Either that, or the sender asked a friend of hers. Or, really, maybe the person who emailed just guessed!

Is the sender in physical proximity to the reciever, or in physical proximity to anyone the reciever might email? A glance over someone's shoulder would get an email address.

Has she ever used the email address to register on any web board, forum or other site? Some of them expose email addresses, or sometimes just the ability to send an email using the system but not the address.
