Maintaining a representative corpus of mixed ham and spam for public use has 
insoluble privacy issues. It's not clear to me how the (very old) corpus on the 
SA site is justifiable. I didn't realize it existed until this thread.

Many of us who run mail systems do retain large corpora of ham and spam for 
research and analysis but making those available to others isn't usefully 
feasible. I've got gigabytes of mail, but redacting it to the point where it 
didn't reveal non-public information would make it useless for any practical 
purpose.
