(Top posting fixed)
No, you cannot go to Port 25 and test for a valid email address. Many
systems nowadays will just silently trash email to invalid addresses
because spammers use the lack of a bounce message as an indication that
an email address is valid.
And no, you cannot go to port 25 and get a list of valid email
addresses. That would be a spammer's dream.
And if you can't find it in Google or Yahoo, chances are no one else
will be able to find it, either.
P.S. Please don't cross-post.
