[sentinix-list] E-mail viruses anyone?

I have started to collect e-mail viruses and spam, and was wondering if anyone 
of you guys (and gals) do this too?  If so, interested in sharing?
Perhaps we can make a neat compilation CD?!  just kidding! ;)

I'm collecting virii/worms/trojans and spam in order to conduct real stress 
tests of the anti-spam system (in sentinix) and I'm going to write some white 
paper report illustrating the results and how to tune it.  Anyone interested 
in participating (helping out)?

I'll conduct tests using ClamAV and F-Secure (perhaps another one too).

The most recent virii I'm getting is Worm.Gibe.F, which ClamAV found without 
problem... they come in these nice "Microsoft Security Update" e-mails. :)
