More Spam, Please

If you have a sociologist's curiosity about the kind of junk making its way through cyberspace, or are developing spam-blocking software, check out the Spam Archive, which made its online debut only a couple of weeks ago. The web site is a "resource that provides a database of known spam to be used for testing, developing, and benchmarking anti-spam tools. The goal of this project is to provide a large repository of spam that can be used by researchers and tool developers."

The firm behind the project is CipherTrust. Paul Judge, the firm's director of research and development, expects the collection of email messages to expand, within a year, to 10 million.

If you have spam to contribute, send it to submit@spamarchive.org.
