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:
calvinhuckle@hotmail.com

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?

Thank you, in advance, for your help. :)

*sings* Spam, spam, spam, spam- lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Anyway

Try clicking on some of those banner ads on websites- especially ones that say you've won something, or ones offer quizzes, or how to "find your true love", etc... Some of those might be fishing for email adddresses for spamming.

You could probably post it on tagboards and on a website itself.

Sign up for stuff with it. Neopets, MySpace, forums, site memberships. I use the same email when I sign up more almost everything, and over the past five years or so I've gotten about 700 spam mail. Be careful that you don't get a virus though.

Ask for email updates on sites. Just put your email in wherever there's a box for it, really. :)
