RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Phishing? (Possible test?)

Not knowing enough about the way WHOIS works, could a test be set up that 
would heavily weight any e-mails that come from a New domain?  This 
would really help the pill/porn pushers
It's something that we would like to do, but automated WHOIS lookups are a 
Bad Thing.  Domain registrars would freak out if people started using WHOIS 
queries for every E-mail that arrived.  Ironically, the reason for that is 
that spammers love it when they find ways to harvest E-mail addresses out 
of WHOIS queries.  They must figure that people who get their E-mail 
addresses into WHOIS records are prime targets for spam.

  The DNS and web 
  server for this domain were on dynamic-range hosts and have already been shut 
  down. The WHOIS registration is a little more than a week old.
