That strikes me as a not-very-good idea.
Some blacklists work by looking for open relays and adding them to the
blacklist.
If your fake smtp server looks like an open relay and quacks like an open
relay, it will get blacklisted like an open relay.
This may have consequences for either you or your IP-neighbors.
