I can't directly help you with your request, but I can tell you that as someone who has several of my email addresses out there in the public, that the last few months things have gone absolutely crazy with spam. I do not directly publish my email address in a normally readable format, but a particularly annoying troll on one newsgroup I reply a great deal to, decided to "out" my email address and all heck broke loose. SO much so that the forwarding service I use was blocked by my ISP as a major spam source, and it too 4 weeks to straighten it out.
Spam is going to destroy text communications on line if some heavy hammers don't start coming down. I know it is huge business, and some countries will never do anything to thwart "entrepreneurship", but this is getting insane. In that one account I am averaging over 300 spam emails a day now, and if it were not for the spam filters I have built plus the one provided by my ISP, I could not provide the on-line services I do. Things are truly out of control now with spam. I don't know who responds to spam, such that it is even worth generating, but obviously enough people do to make it "worthwhile" to distribute. It's a real mess...
