Trying to perform a whois lookup on every domain is painfully slow. Once you get a high enough volume of .cn domains detected it will become impossible and that is assuming you are never rate limited. On top of that, most of the time when I do a whois lookup on a .cn domain I find the destination whois server to be unresponsive, stuck in a "maintenance mode" or doesn't include any data except the domain name and the listed nameservers. Spam from .cn domains can be mitigated with the right rules and querying multiple lists. I know my users never see .cn domains in their inbox and if I didn't run a blacklist I wouldn't either. --Blaine
