I am guessing that you are not the owner of the mail server. Don't do it because it could be illegal. It is called a "directory harvesting attack".

Security companies spend a lot of money protecting their mail servers from people like you.

"In a DHA, spammers attempt to deliver messages to multiple addresses, such as johndoe@yourcompany.com, jdoe@yourcompany.com, and john@yourcompany.com. Addresses that are not rejected by the receiving mail server are determined as being valid. These valid email addresses are compiled into lists and are repeatedly sold to other spammers. A successful DHA can net a spammer thousands of corporate email addresses in just a few minutes."
