You would have to use a DNS lookup to get the MX records of the domain. The MX records contain the IP addresses of the domain's SMTP servers. You would then have to connect to each server, issuing a VRFY command to each one, until one of them reports success. Do note, however, that some servers dsable the VRFY command, unfortunately.
