You can't train spam filters with 100% spam. Moreover you should train with the spam your users actually receive.

No, but you can look at what got through and figure out why it got through, then adjust settings accordingly. You might find you need to give more weight to specific blacklists or something.

mailbait is not intended to signup for spam. The email returned is solicited from legitimate services; including listservs, newsletters, and anything else users dig up to add to the system. This makes it a good fit for some tests, as inbound email is not necessarily from illegitimate sources with negative intentions.
