One way to do it, but I am not sure if it is effective enough, is to post in usenet newsgroups with that email address, especially any newsgroup with the word 'erotica' in it :)
Yes, that's right. I've already done something like this on http://groups.google.com . Check some groups like those on marketing, business, sex, erotica. Find those with more posts and most spam, then post a message with your email address in these groups (you are limited by a number of posts per day I think). Wait 2-3 days and then post messages here again. You may see a huge amount of spam coming in shortly.
