Again, good idea, but doesn't belong in the core. If I register a domain, it should be live immediately, not after some 5 day waiting period. On the same token, if you want to track new domains and not accept any email from me until my domain is 5 days old, go for it. Your prerogative.
Well then - all you need is to have some way to convince registrars take down scammer domains fast.
Some of them do. Others dont know (several in asia) or are aware and dont care - theres some in russia, some stateside that mostly kite domains but dont mind registering a ton of blog and email spammer domains.
I'm late to this party... Unresponsive registries and registrars is a huge problem wrt phishing. I am aware of at least 4 domains off the top of my head that are used exclusively for phishing which have been up for over a month since being reported to the registry and registrar. The Anti Phishing Working group has a committee working on educating these reg folks and my own employer is spending significant money at the next ICANN meeting to do the same. If you're an network operator and you'd consider null routing IPs associated with nameservers used only by phishers, please let me know and we'll be happy to provide the appropriate evidence. -John
