Which is the best way to test SpamAssassin's functionality and configured Spam filters?

I'm aware of the Generic Test for Unsolicited Bulk Email. but I would like to have a "real" Spam test that includes various email addresses/messages.

You don't get so much spam that "Waiting for one to arrive" is a valid option? – Ladadadada Oct 25 '12 at 12:46
@Ladadadada Not really I just want to test it before going into production. – pl1nk Oct 25 '12 at 13:28
Ah, in that case I would probably suggest duplicating some percentage of mail from production to your test box. Or putting SpamAssassin in mark-but-don't-delete mode in production. – Ladadadada Oct 25 '12 at 13:33
@Ladadadada At the moment I don't have such a production box :) I'm starting with a test box. – pl1nk Oct 26 '12 at 11:46
