and personally, i'd not "users" to receive spam at gmail/hotmail/yahoo
and that in itself is abuse of "free email services"
ie.. what can you do about spam ... just play with spam-filters to post
process the MB or GB of spam data.. ( storage costs lots of $$$
and worst when multiplied by nnn-times x 4x for nnn people doing "spam
tests"
i say serious spam testing/research should be down at one's own
hardware and connectivity and storage
and you can dig thru the mail archives to find all the spam you want
along with the real emails ... this debian list itself is a good
real life example of mix of spams vs real emails
