I doubt it. The task possible permutations are in the billions and you have to confirm each one.
Dictionary attacks on emails servers definitely happen. Take a look at this report[^]

It's misleading to some other site. Googling also didn't help me :(

Well, I think they are only talking about the spammers targeting specific domains. In general it's not going to work. There's must be about a million domains in existance and then another million possible email addresses for each domain.
And spammers send out billions of emails. You're right in that an attack on specific domains is the most efficient, but I'm sure that aquiring a list of the top 10,000 domains wouldn't be hard.
