the eMail addresses being submitted one at a time, or as a

Publishing it on webpages, mailing lists, archives etc. should do
enough. Maybe use your own domains that have MX records to the
spamtraps.

I'm doing some of this already (mostly just including the eMail
addresses on web pages in a way that they're not visible to users,
so they don't accidentally send to them).

I have some hope that they don't check MX records for every domain.

I suspect you're correct because I've found that setting up a
non-relaying SMTP daemon that accepts everything on an IP address
with no MX records pointing to it (that I know of) usually does
start receiving spam after some unpredictable period of time.

It doesn't even need to be running a web server or anything else,
although running an FTP daemon does seem to attract attention
from what I assume are SSH-hacking bots.
