I'm looking to get "spammed" or "attacked" so to speak for the purpose
of collecting malware for analysis. I've set up a few vulnerable
machines on my network, made some changes to my router to expose those
machines. I've also signed up for various email addresses in hopes
that something comes (malicious attachments) through that way. My
question is, what is the best way to collect malware, if there is even
one solid method?

well, you can use honeypot/honeynet project (already suggested).
Another option is download it from the web: http://vx.netlux.org/vl.php

And also you can use your way using phys or virtual machines, but be careful.
Virii/Malware experimentation could be illegal in some states/countries, even
for study/research purposes, having a virii stuff could be illegal.

Be careful also on restrict the outgoing traffic by firewall rules. You could be
banned from your ISP if your stuff is trying to propagate outside your walls.

---------------

i also suggest to have multiple ip addresses with different provider. It is
relative to the spread method used by the malware, but, having more ip's is a
good way to speed up the recollection.

Also, you can recollect it on "quarantine basket" from antivirus protected
computers. Usually, the best place to find a lot of virus is a "cyber coffee".
You can talk with a cyber administrator to collect the malware. (Well, it
depends on your country, in mine is a popular internet access method)

----------------

Despite some people who thinks that having a stuff is a serious offense, i think
that our job is to protect the network, but, if we don't know the enemy, how
can you protect the net? be blinded is not so useful when you are planning a
strategy against some threat.
