Daniel, I think your missing the point, or I'm completely lost but I believe the point of the list is to tag domains with a registration date of a week or less when sending mail to you (prevent spam from newly registered domains).

Marc didn't say anything about registration dates. It sounds like he's trying to avoid depending on registrar data, which to me makes his solution extremely non-portable.

Why is it so flippin' difficult to get a feed of newly-registered domain names?

I don't know how this will work but I'm building the data now. For
those of you who are familiar with Day old bread lists to detect new
domains, as you know there's a lag time in the data and they often
don't have data from all the registries. So - here's a different
solution.

What I'm thinking is to accumulate every domain name that interacts
with my system and storing it in a list. Eventually after a week or
so I should have a good list. Then the idea is to do a lookup to see
if a new domain is NOT on the list. This will catch all really new
domains, but will have some false positives. But - if it is mixed
with other conditionals it might be a good way to detect and block
spam from or linking to tasting domains.

So, If for years I send mail to hundreds of people in my county, but
never anything to your spamtraps or your legitimate mail, and then one
day I decide to send you a single piece of mail, you will blacklist me
as DOB?

I wouldn't say "blacklist", I'd say "add a point to the SA score".

 Obama is a three-year senator without a single important
 legislative achievement to his name, a former Illinois state
 senator who voted "present" nearly 130 times. As president of the
 Harvard Law Review, as law professor and as legislator, has he ever
 produced a single notable piece of scholarship? Written a single
 memorable article? His most memorable work is a biography of his
 favorite subject: himself.                    -- Charles Krauthammer
