If you really want a tsunami of "spam", you have to get on the list of forged addresses with which mass spammer "sign" their mass mailings (in Return-Path: , in From:, in envelope-from ). My old work email address was scrapped (I suppose) from the conference websites that had the participant's email freely widely open.

In 2008, on Sunday April 20, a few million emails of the type
Code:
Your message
 
  To:      Happiness
  Subject: Better performance
  Sent:    Sun, 20 Apr 2008 07:14:30 -0400
 
did not reach the following recipient(s):
 
Happiness on Sun, 20 Apr 2008 08:55:21 -0400
    The recipient name is not recognized 
The MTS-ID of the original message is:<details omitted>
or
Code:
Undeliverable: [SPAM (Non-existent user)] - Direct Mail - Local recipient does not exist
or similar variations were received in one day alone. In my work email box. On Monday, the real email was changed and the old one deleted (but without sending any similar messages in reply* or else there would have been a chain reaction, maybe).

____________
*in fact, no serious organization would reply: this is how by exclusion a list of valid users can be constructed!

P.S. Of course any serious email client would know that these were not from me. There's
Code:
Return-Path: <b---v@ myWork.org>
Received: from adsl-11-$$$-201.mia.bellsouth.net (adsl-11-$$$-201.mia.bellsouth.net [65.11.$$$.201])
                by mxdrop147.xs4all.nl (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m3KDKRMO022003
                for <henk....@....nl>; Sun, 20 Apr 2008 15:20:31 +0200 (CEST)
                (envelope-from b---v@ myWork.org)
They obviously were not from the owner of the bellsouth box either (or for that matter thousands of others, the list of which I analyzed and found them originating from all but one continents), but from a virus/worm/whatever they had for a while but that was programmed to wake up on a specific date.

You SOB, I'm still waiting for my Happy-funtime pills to arrive. Your email clearly stated, "Please to be sending $20 USD's and self addressing envelopes to...redacted"

well I sent my 20 USD's and got no happy-funtime pills!

And Ms. Chappy left me for some guy who is rich now, because his email was about smuggling monies from Nigeria.

Oh! Hi Henk! Your money was well spent. We bought ourselves a new yacht.
Money can't buy happiness, you know ...only a lot of money can!
