Is there an easy way to detect the registrar of a domain through DNS?
For example - can I easilly figure out if an email I'm processing is
hosted by GoDaddy or Tucows?
Even if it was possible I don't think its would be at all useful.
Spammers don't generally register domains to sent spam from. They're not
that stupid.
Unfortunately some PC users ARE that stupid. If a PC can receive mail
there's a sporting chance it may be infected no matter who the domain
registrar might be.

Again - this is not something to find spammers. It's to find
non-spammers. It's a white rule.
OK, but it still won't work. A lot of spam comes from botnets: hence my
comment about PC users. There's certainly no correlation between the
location of infected PCs and the reputation of the domain registrar of
the domain the infected PC is posting from.

Again - it's not to figure out where spam comes from. It's figuring out
where non-spam comes from. I think there are registrars out there that
don't have any spam domains registered.
