No issue on your general approach but maybe better to stick to domains that are specifically set aside as non-registerable, e.g. [email protected]?
Why? If the domain does exist but the email account does not (which it wouldn't), if they then try to send an email to the address all that will happen is that the STMP server would return a rejected email address response. There is no 'inflicting' on anyone, as the server owner would never even know (unless the server Administrator went looking through server logs, but why would they ever do that? With bots all over the internet randomly generating email addresses on domains to spam, there are likely to be literally thousands of rejected incoming emails on any domain in a single day)

Rejecting one email is hardly a taxing job for the server.
