    Seems like a very legitimate excuse for surfing porn at work if you ask me...do that for a couple of days and watch the spam roll in...

    LB has a point

    I don't know anywhere where you can sign up to this but I can think of a couple of ways:

    1 - just stick the email address on the web (here for example, I'm sure someone will spam you).
    2 - Put the email address up on a newsgroup.

    The way I see it is; if you have to sign this email up to receive spam, then your customer doesn't have a spam problem. If they have a spam problem and your solution is good enough, they will see the results soon enough through their own email addresses...

    I might be missing a trick here, but if you sign up to receive spam then isn't it no longer spam?

    Just do it via a subscription to www.spamcop.net, recharged at a suitably eye-watering markup of course.

    What do you want to do? In my experience, you either set this up server-side, adding an email addy to a list on whatever antispam solution you have (this blocks email from this address)...or...you do it clientside and set up a whitelist of email addresses for your mail client. Not sure what you are getting at...
