Newsgroups work, but do take a while. I get quite a lot to some
fake addresses posted a couple of years ago.

As already pointed out this is a bad idea as you are signing up.
What I successfully do is to go to "unsubscribe" web links in spam
and enter a spam trap address. I use a combination of the domain
name and the date for the local part. These can produce results
within a couple of months, and you can identify which
"unsubscribe" web site was used.
Try this one for example (unmunge it):
http://kazmway-MUNGED.com/w.php
(with w.php it is safe - without is most definitely NOT!)
or this:
http://apslwoyu-MUNGED.com/remove/
(replica watches - safe!)
Don't go to links with identifying codes unless the e-mail was
sent to your spamtrap... you don't want more junk to your real
address.
Cheers,
Matthew
