Rebecca Wildfong sent me the money to ship back the original WRONG set of bowls, to her, even though she did not ship them to me, Tupperware did, and I boxed and shipped them back to her at the address provided to me from her payment company, PayPal. After 2 weeks the ...

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
I am trying to do some reasearch on junk e-mail and spam e-mail. In
order to effectivly research this topic, I have established three
different (and disposable) email accounts with my ISP. My goal is to
have one of the three boxes inundated with junk mail. In fact, I want
the amount to be staggering!
Can someone give me ideas for making this email address a target of
mass mailers, junk mailers, etc... The method(s) need to be simple,
and I don't want to have to "confirm" any registrations. I want the
resulting submissions to be silent and without warning. Subject: Re: Would you like SPAM with that JUNK EMAIL?
