If you're going to do this, you should generate a list that includes 
a range of addresses, including hard and soft bounces and successful 
deliveries. Which would imply addresses  that are pre-set up to go to 
domains that voluntarily eat and/or bounce them.

you can also use any number of the spam holes out there (pretty much 
any domain one letter off from hotmail.com, for instance hotmal.com) 
that are preying on user typos to suck folks into web sites -- almost 
all of those reject mail or have disconnected SMTP completely, and 
since they're slime, I have no problem using them to test mail 
bouncing addresses.. (grin)
