Collections of all sizes are of use to someone -- it depends on their
resources and goals.
The SB project doesn't collect spam, because our goal is
individualized training, and each person's ham/spam mix differs (and
changes over time). Initial development was done on canned databases,
though.
Here's a good list of spam collections:

If you intend to make a long-term commitment to this, you could ask
Paul Graham to include a link to you there. Else you can find an
archive there to which you can contribute.
