Actually I figured out how to use it to my advantage. I query "." which is my own DNS server of course as a ip4r blacklist and if the IP for verisign's site is returned then I give the spam a very high score. Any domain that doesn't exist would fail this, but any other domain would not return that IP, but rather the proper IP. I'm still pissed at Verisign, but I always try to turn a problem in to an opportunity so now I'm using their greed to block spam.
Hey, here's another example. Since they list other urls that you may have wanted, it's a good way to find similar existing domains, without you ever issuing your own whois/etc queries. And I like the irony of them performing the service for you. -- Brian Hatch "Strategic analysts in Earthdome Systems and have indicated they don't know Security Engineer who this new race might be, but http://www.ifokr.org/bri/ promise to find out."
