Feeding spamassassin with fresh spam cont'd

A few days ago I wrote about how I wanted to attract some spam in order to feed my spamassassin's bayes filter with a lot of 'known-bad' emails. However, until now this experiment has not worked out as I thought it would. Even though links to the page providing the email addresses which are meant to be spammed have been placed on quite a few pages not a single spam email has been received by my system.

I am wondering if I have done something wrong or if those nasty email crawlers simply haven't stumbled across my little page yet. Does anyone have something similar up and running and would like to provide me with some input or tell me what exactly I am doing wrong?
