Good way to get spammed?

[Mick Szucs <mi...@magma.ca>]

I'm trying to get some spam delivered to my filter boxes so I can gauge 
their effectiveness on a day to day basis.  Though it seems that I've 
got no trouble getting spam I don't want, I'm not having a lot of luck 
getting spam now that I do want it.

Ideas, anyone?  Spammer bait?

Thanks,
Mick

post to usenet's alt.test
post to any mailing list with an un-obfuscated web archive.
post to any mailing list spammers monitor (ie: this one)
follow a few unsubscribe links from your normal spam and unsubscribe your 
spam trap. (careful, pick ones that don't have web-bugs and ID strings 
passed in)

I recently used all of the above on some of my spamtraps and it took about 
a week before my various "jokertrap123@evi-inc.com" addresses started 
getting a flow of spam.

I'd recommend creating several different spamtrap addresses for different 
places. alias them all into a normal mailbox to start with so you can 
monitor it for activity and head off any nonspam sent to them shortly after 
your posts. Once you've seen no ham for a week, and have gotten at least 
one spam, alias the address over to a spamtrap box that gets fed to 
sa-learn and/or statistics generators.

Just post something (anything!) to Usenet and watch the amount of spam 
come flooding in (eventually).

Ooooohhhhhh please don't tempt me.... Get thee behind me Satan!
{^_-}
        Post widely to usenet
        Pick easy to guess addresses    "micks" would do nicely.
        Visit a drug spam site from one of the tagged spams that
        identify the victim from the visit.

        There are lots of other ways. But I'm so used to avoiding
        them it hurts to think of voluntarily committing them.
