Honeypot detection

Does email address under test hide a honeypot?
Is there a way to detect that address is a Honeypot?
tbh I don't have a clear idea how to do it either. But other email validation services provide it, so it could be good to investigate how they do it.
I guess it'll be based on some heuristics. An idea could also be to include in the binary a moderately-sized txt file with honeypot addresses.
Honeypots are like normal addresses, you can check that address is spam trap with sending one email and waiting for listing your ip/etc.. in blacklist OR you can have database of spamtraps, so just filter them out
waiting to being blacklisted seems bad idea...
