How can there be no whois info anywhere ?You can also make whois information private, usually for anadditional fee. I wonder what % of domains that have their whois info hidden or "private" are throwaway spam domains... Some number approaching 100% I would bet. It would be nice to somehow incorporate this into a SpamAssassin check somehow.
Perhaps 100% of spammers hide their registration data when possible, but I wouldn't say that 100% of hidden registrations are spammers. An RBL option of this type of data would probably mean forced elimination of a benefit to the public - privacy. -M<
