One tool to do this is the monthly password reminders (if enabled). This
will send an email to every user, giving them the email address they are
subscribed with and their password (I wish there was a way to make the
monthly messages NOT have the password, but when sent as a password
reminder include the password).

Otherwise, it is a matter of just looking through the list of
subscribers trying to find out what address might be theirs. Sometimes
asking them for as many of their previous email addresses that they can
remember to look for things like can give you leads.
