They are secret. There is no test you can apply to determine if an email is a spam trap. There is no guarantee that trap emails have SPF or DK records published for their domains. This is by design. SpamCop disapproves of TMDA so they have no real desire to help us.

YMMV. These help, but since spam traps are run by a distributed group of sysadmins (i.e. SpamCop doesn't have direct control over these domains), there are no guarantees that this will help you. SpamCop has an anti-C/R policy, and my correspondences with them indicate that they are not interested in changing it. My experiences and some other details are here: http://dave.redterror.net/2006/10/02/spamcop-blacklists-and-policy/ PS - FWIW - SpamCop's official line is that using their blacklist as a RBL is wrong... but a ton of people do it.
