Cold Fusion code question

Hi,
I am looking at some cold fusion code that I didn't write and trying to figure out something.
Here is the code:

<cfcomponent displayname="Email" output="false">
      <cffunction name="getEnvProperAddress" access="public" output="false">
            <cfargument name="emailAddress" required="true" />
            <cfif application.environment neq "pro" and application.environment neq "beta">
                  <cfreturn application.email />
            <cfelse>
                  <cfreturn arguments.emailAddress />
            </cfif>
      </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>



I am particularly interested in this line:  <cfreturn application.email />

I need to figure out where the email address that is being returned is coming from.

This CF code runs on a web server that has SQL server as it's back end. There are many stored procs in SQL server but it doesn't look like a stored proc is being used here.

There is a file at the root level of the web server called Application.cfc but I don't see any reference in that file to email addresses.

Thanks for the help!
