	Two methods suggest themselves: 1 get a "throwaway" address
(hotmail or whatever) and harvest that.

	Secondly, if you're running, for example qmail, post to an
alt.binary group with something like matt-spam at ...  then just have
procmail deliver that to your spamassassin or, at a later time, just
drop it, etc.

	These may be very naive ways of doing it - I'm sure you'll get
better suggestions :)

	I do wonder about not using a spam collection though - what
makes you unique from the rest of us that you're afraid you'd
misclassify some incoming mail if SA was trained from it? Odd friends
(well, you do talk with us :) or are you afraid you'd miss the "Grow
Your Antenna To ENORMOUS lengths with our Herbal Concoction!   wx8347"
messages?

I remember when legal used to mean lawful.  Now it means some kind of
loophole.  --Leo Kessler
