[Corpora-List] Phishing email corpus

[Vlado Keselj]

There is a collection at the site of Anti-Phishing Working Group: 
http://www.antiphishing.org/phishing_archive.html

I have my own collection and am interested in sharing it in order to 
create a larger public-domain collection.

Best regards,
--Vlado
