Sample MIME messages
We have this catchall email account... any email that wasn't addressed
to a correct mailbox was going into it. I had lapsed checking on it,
and it grew out of control. The result is a DVD with 5GB of about 1.2
million email messages. Robert, you had asked for some sample emails...
would this interest you?

The problem would be most acute where the sender has misspelled a real
address and the content contains personal or commercial info. Which
makes anonymising the data a non-starter too :-(

Yeah, I'm not sure how many are spam and how many aren't. This should
have gotten past the spam filters, but I haven't had a chance to look
through to see how many were bad recipients vs. just random email
addresses. I'll have to look through and dig into it.

True... yeah, that is a nasty issue that you've highlighted.

perhaps 1.2m SPAM emails would interest spamassassin

my main issue was licensing. AIUI the legal status of emails is a grey
area which i'd like to avoid.
but IIRC spamassassin maintains offshore lists and they may well be
interested if you'd be willing to share

Serge, is it all spam? Or real messages? I ask because 1.2m real
messages would be worth having, but 1.2m bits of spam is probably less
representative.
