Troy, watch out you don't open yourself up for an attack from the bad guys: They'll start sending you solicitations with ReplyTo addresses of industry honeypots, and before you know it, you'll become a known spammer and your regular outgoing emails will be routed to recipient's spam folders or maybe even dropped entirely.

Let me guess: honey pots are on all the torrented/darkweb lists of emails that get shared. Regular vics will be on a subset or just one.
