I've read it, but it didn't say how reliable that BL is. Does it 100% 
cover all new domains world wide, or just for some? Is it directly from 
registrar data?

I know, I do it that way currently. I mean that soon we will find us 
having a third level of check, after the first HEL/MAILFROM/RCPTTO 
rejects and before the SA checks. Because for this BL with "max. 5 days 
old domains" to be used in a wise way you need to scan for URIs within 
the mail. This is the only way to stop spammers from using <5 days old 
domains. If they can't promote it cheaply, they won't use it.

This is some sort of greylisting, with the exception of using a central 
BL. It could be called greydomaining or something like that. So the 
name already gives an idea how it works.
