For the honeypot to work all you need deliver are the spammer test

you're safe. If you deliver the test messages then you intend to
receive and hold the spam. Do that and you won't get blacklisted.
Not that you care, unless you're concerned about SPEWS-like
over-zealous blocking that could spill over.
Given that blacklisters range from those who block the IP, to those
who block an entire range of IPs. And given that you are depending
on blacklisters testing for delivery and not just existance. And
given that the detection process has to be manual, and has to
distinguish between blacklister tests and spammer tests. I don't
think you are going to find a lot of people willing to set up
honeypots of this type.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
