This sounds like an urban legend to me. Keep in mind that there was
some news release a few weeks ago that indicated AOL was seeing
dramatically less spam traffic. I think it is likely that AOL has
succeeded in blocking more spam, and the article was rehashed by someone
that didn't understand the topic and assumed that this meant a drop in
spam. This used to happen all the time, even in industry mags, back
when the Internet was becoming a big deal. Same thing with spam now.
I'm sure that they mess up articles about medicine, astronomy, etc., and
we just don't know enough to see through the mistakes.

I don't get this article at all. How is this any different then sending
e-mails with using domains that you have no intention of ever using? Why
would you want to register the domain name and then associated yourself
with
a domain used in a spam mailing? And from a technical standpoint why
would
a distributed DNS system be overloaded by trying to lookup bogus domain
names?

"One troublesome technique finding favor with spammers involves sending
mass
mailings in the middle of the night from a domain that has not yet been
registered. After the mailings go out, the spammer registers the domain
early the next morning."
Hmmmm
