Default KA's junkmail challenge

I set up a gmail account on Tuesday to set everyone on my forums a challenge.

This is the challenge.

As you know a gmail account comes with 1000MB of space.

The deadline for mail to me recieved is midnight GMT on Sunday 9th January. At this point I will be giving $1.00 for each 1% of the mailbox that is in use.

Therefore the more mail that goes in the more money goes out.

The address is peterska2.junkmail@gmail.com

It is currently standing at You are currently using 105 MB (11%) of your 1000 MB.

To fill it up use this address to get junkmail or send all your junkmail to it. Newsgroups, spam sites, anything that you can think of will do. Chain mail is good too.

So don't forget thats peterska2.junkmail@gmail.com for all your junkmail to be sent to to complete the challenge for the Tsunami appeal.


As you can see we are still a very long way off the mark so I'm opening this up to people here.

Don't worry about things like trojans and viruses as I won't be opening any of the mail and even if I did I am fully upto date with antivirus and spyware protection.

Lets get this mailbox full and get some more money out to the people affected by the Tsunami.

At the moment it looks terrible with a mere $11.00 to be donated. It's not worth writing the check for yet. Lets get this donation up to a realistic level. The budget is $100.00 (100% @ $1.00/1% = $100.00) so lets use all of it.

Is it ok to attach huge files?

I could probably send a few of my Counter-Strike demo files at 100MB+ each..
