collecting spam(maybe offtopic)

[Michael <mi...@gmail.com>]

  Hello!
  It may be a strange request, but i need to collect spam for a research 
project about the way spammers attack and the way they bypass the 
antispam filters.
  Obviously, for this project i need to collect spam in different ways 
and on different types. Also, my project can be concludent only if the 
spam that i analyze is new and variate.
  So, i wold like to request your help about the way i can collect spam. 
I tried to post with this address on many Usenet groups and many mailing 
lists but the results was not so good. Also, i can't abuse to post on 
that mailing list because it's not nice to make "noise" on mailing list 
were people really need help.

     If you can tell me ways about how to make this address spammed i 
will really appreciated.


Thanks in Advice,

and use spamassassin will understand my request.

Just post in public forums, and sign up for all sorts of marketing 
materials or free promo accounts, and you'll get plenty.

In addition, I keep a nightly digest of all the spam we process if you'd 
like a copy.  We're up to over 7,000 spam messages per day on these 
accouns, roughly 3GB of gzip'd mbox-format mailboxes since March when we 
moved to the current servers.

We have a very comprehensive database - about two years of envelope
data. Is there anything I can do to help?
