Well,
I CAN tell you that I have personal contacts with Spammers (who keep wanting me
to take their business) - and from casual conversations about the "industry" I
know that several DO clean any AOL mailboxes from their lists before
doing campaigns out of fear of litigation based on VA
law.
Best

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
