Testing mail server anti-spam capabilities

edited April 2008 in Help / Advice Forum
I'm testing a new mail server that we may deploy in the future, Kerio Mail Server. One of the last things I need to test is it's built in anti-spam capabilities. I've created one address, john@solarahelpdesk.com, and I'd like to get as much spam sent to it as possible. Any tips on seeding this address in a quick and efficient manner?

If you want to help seed it feel free. ;)

    Yeah I figured on that, unfortunately I'm at work. Can't really do that until I get home. And then when I get home, I'd really rather be doing other things. I may put in 30 minutes for that when I get home though.

    I think your boss will understand...


    But yea, they're vicious. I remember when I was younger thinking, "really, a bunch of new porn in my e-mail!?!? Sweet!!!" One list entry earned me like, 30+ e-mails a day.

    If you want to get some serious spam, make that e-mail address the temporary catch-all for your mail server.

    If your domain has been around for a while and you get traffic then you will probably get a handful of spam e-mails per day or more.

    But, you know, just sending it out to a bunch of shady newsletter sites will work too.

    Particularly those "get a free iPod! (after this many magazine subscriptions)" sites will spam you up good.

    Yeah this is a new domain just for testing purposes, so the catchall postmaster address won't work. Yet. I did sign poor "John" up for as many free ipod/ps3/wii offers as I could find though. It's already starting to come in.
