Website "Contact Us" forms

Some websites have a "Contact Us" feature where you can complete and submit an online form.

Is there any way you can determine the email address the form gets sent to when submitted?

I've checked the source code and can see no mention of it in there.

None assuming they did it propertly and did not respond to you from the same email address they received your email from.

Not if it's server side (PHP, .Net etc...)
 
If it's not part of the form's action url or in some javascript building this url it's likely that the email address is just kept on the server and unavailable to you. If I were coding a page of that nature the email address would be held in some configuration file on the server which users have no access to.
 
If you can't see an address in the source code you can't work it out. There should be an address you can contact directly somewhere on the site.
