This will actually work. I've been involved in a university experiment doing this for over a year now. Simply put, trying to create a list of new spammer domains is a "count to infinity" problem. Creating a list of old domains is not. Jeff Moss

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. Thoughts?
