It's not spam if you sign up for it.

If you do that, make sure you are absolutely certain that the terms and
conditions that you sign up to, prevent them from emailing you for *any*
reason, and prevent them from selling on your details to others.

In the past I've received spam purely for posting to this list, it might
be a good idea to stick your spam trap address in the headers of all of
your outgoing emails, or even in the signature. Making it very clear
that no one should email it of course.
