Could you get an address that is more likely to be guessed. Like
jsmith-IEbV4ISQ1OQU04JRNCRQjg at public.gmane.org That would attract dictionary attacks.

When you get spam make sure you follow the links in the email.
You could add that address as a contact on a domain registration.
Do you suppose there are any FTP sites that harvest addresses from the
anonymous passwords?

I've been meaning to setup my own spam trap and just dump the email to
sa-learn. I'll be really interested in your results.

In fact since I'm interested, if you want a jsmith@, I'd gladly loan you
an email address on one of my domains.
