If the real world barrage of crap e-mails don't fit the bill, you can 
always feed some messages through to your system using your MTA 
program.  For example, it's really easy for sendmail, just cat out a 
mailbox laden with spam, and pipe it to Sendmail. It will deliver those 
to your mailscanner system as fast as your hardware allows. :)
