I'm fishing for 419 scams and I'm also curious to see how spammed an inbox can get. So I've created a hotmail account for this purpose: [email protected]
Now all I need is LOTS of spam...
What are the most effective ways to attract spam? Posting the address on a forum is a start, but what other methods are there?

Also set your email account to do an automated response to emails, this way spammers will know that it is a legit email address which will move it up on the list and they will sell or distribute your email address to other spammers. You will get a lot of bounced emails but I don’t think you care about that. Signup for a bunch of newsletters and those free offers for that free junk you get, this will place you on about every spam list there is. You can also create a PHP form that only emails you and make sure that it is unprotected so that the Form Injections will send the spam to you.
