It's extremely rare that anyone should have to test "the entire process;"
most of the time the process works AOK, and we just need to test one
specific piece of it.

If we were to try to do an intelligent auto-responder as you suggest, it
would need to know what you meant by test-viagra, test-enlarge,
test-invest, test-debt, test-copydvd, test-degree, test-prescript,
test-porn, test-cable, test-diet, and any other topic we get spam in.
That in itself could be a major programming task.

Would a community service where you can send such a request to a small
mailing list, and the participants would then respond by sending you such
an email from their own corpus help? The downside would be that it
wouldn't be as fast as an auto-responder, but the upside would be a bit
more variety in what you receive.
