If you make your spamtrap mailboxes accessible to me, I could automatically parse any number of them as long as I can get POP3 access from here.
That would work, as long as you're willing to suck down about 1GB of spam per day. I already have my spam in a news spool, so it can just be sucked down...
No POP3 of course, since I'm not aware of any mail software that scales to mailboxes with over 100k pieces of mail a day.
I agree with Raymond, Joe and Rob. Using Joe's process would leverage his good work well.
I also agree with Rik that NNTP in some ways makes more sense for this kind of large feed (as would RSS). (POP of course is fine for "normal" individual users.)
Some sort of a general RSS or NNTP capability into Joe's suite could make a wonderful spamtrap receptacle for Joe and all of us.... ;-) If we had that we could solicit other spamtrap feeds from people we can trust.
