Dan,
That would be a valuable test IMO, however I think there might be issues
with load since I am not aware of a standard method of caching whois
lookups. Because whois output also comes in many forms (as opposed to
DNS) it would be process intensive to grab the registration date. Then
lastly, there are limitations on automated lookups on many whois
databases. Otherwise I love the idea :)

Spammers put links in the body of messages and more recently are creating them by the pound, changing to new ones multiple times/days. Is it possible to have a test that checks the age of domain names in the body? This information is available from a number of places:
http://www-whois.internic.net/cgi/whois?whois_nic=uzbeki98.biztype=domain
But is it possible to make an automated test that can collect and use it? Simplest would be just specifying the location and age, in days, fewer than which it would trip, under one month in this example:
DomainAge domainage body 30 1 0
