I think the "barrier to entry" is too difficult for most. I would have

I may be wrong but I don't believe the majority of the current masscheckers
have honeypots in place. I also believe that at least some have some form of
filtering in place - in fact the most common filtering in place is the manual
classification since I bet most of us come across the odd message that we
second guess and just put to one side.
Likely true. What I contribute is what gets throgh Zen to my personal
mailbox, for example. I did liberally sprinkle "ideally" through my
description... :)
Then I would have to setup an SA development
environment with scripts to keep it up-to-date from SVN and compiled
regularly.
I forget the exact steps involved for running the checks because basically I
set it up and largely forget about it, but essentially it was grab an svn
copy of SpamAssassin, pick one of the various helper scripts, create a config
and let cron deal with the daily workload of updating/checking/submitting -
it's all done in the helper scripts.
Right, that's pretty much all there is: install and schedule the local
masscheck script. It's not quite totally black box, but pretty close. You
do, however, have to get all the bits working initially.
I like the idea of a VM image.
