Windbreak Drive, Alexandria VA  22306 is a small street containing a
townhouse community.  I want to find out which of the addresses in
this community are served by email; and what those email identifiers
are as related to street addresses.    I'm doing this so that I can
use the email addresses as infrastructure to communicate with the
street addresses.  I also want, to learn a process for doing this in
small  volume circumstances.  By that I mean I'm interested in
hundreds of addresses rather than thousands or tens of thousands of
addresses.

Clarification of Question by david_j_kaplan-ga on 02 Sep 2002 11:05 PDT

By now (2 September 2002)  I have been told with differing degrees of
courtesy that what I am looking for is impossible, illegal, immoral,
or fattening) so let me "clarify" the question.  Because these are
members of a townhouse association of which I am also a member, I 
have a list of the names of the residents and their addresses.  What I
want to know with little fuss for them and me is what are their email
addresses.  I am not trying to infringe on their civil rights (I am a
member of the ACLU).  The reason I don't go to each one individually
is because I am lazy.  I want no more than what a telephone book would
have.  I am not interested in "unlisted numbers".  Those people who
want a higher level of privacy might simply not know about community
events.  By the way I only want the email addresses of the members of
the townhouse community.  I don't care what there street addresses
are.

I'm no expert, but I would venture to guess that email addresses in no
way are related to street addresses. Street addresses are relegated by
the Postal Service whereas email addresses typically are created in
part by who you choose as your email service provider which for the
most part knows no geographical boundries, and in part by your own
personal preferences (ie: mynickname@yahoo.com).

If you're looking for a way to identify what email addresses belong to
what households, then you've stumbled across a very unscrupulous email
service provider who gave out personal info they shouldn't be giving
out.

while a few of the persons on that street might use a local ISP (any
of hundreds) others might use a current/former school, work, or other
organization address, or a free email provider - anywhere in the
world. So the addresses themselves are useless.  You would have to
research this in reverse:
  A search on Google, with the terms "windbreak dr" turns up a dozen
business or individual pages with those terms, some might contain
useful information.
variations on this method will get you info on businesses, schools,
streets, zip codes, area codes( possibly with a partial phone #
703-734)but is very labor intensive.  There are a number of web search
based email extractor programs out there too.

Be aware though, unsolicited emails are often ignored/blocked or may
cause extremely annoyed recipients to
a) Not want to deal with your subject matter
b) File complaints with your Email provider, possibly resulting in
termination of your account
c) Possible complaints to your website host, if any, that could cause
you to loose the site
d) potential legal action

Be careful what you do!

The easiest way would be to print copies of a leaflet that indicates
what you are trying to achieve, and put one in each mailbox.

To put it bluntly, what you ask is impossible. 

The only data publicly available that you could use to tie a physical
address to an email address is information that the holder of that
address has made public on 'internet whitepages' sites. And even then,
few of those sites allow searching on anything other than name and
general location, so unless you know the names of people on this
street, you are unlikely to be able to get this information.

As someone else has more or less suggested, the only way you are
likely to get this information is by speaking to these people
individually.
