Re[4]: rule based on domain age

I hadn't considered being blocked by the TLD's from doing the lookups.  
Good point.  We probably do about 2K per day so not sure that is enough 
to be blocked but it certainly could be.

So they register new domains, link them to gmail (outlook) and send spam with envelope of the domain via the google network, and google does nothing and keeps giving this service to them?

I assume this service is offered for free by google/outlook?

IP ranges and country connections are of no help.  These criminals use 
outlook, gmail, vps servers and everything under the sun.

The spameatingmonkey.com rbl was suggested to me for domains reg'd in 
the past 30 days will be quite helpful, already implemented.

I am also looking at getting the feed from zonefiles.io and I can 
potentially use that data and some coding on my end to create my own 180 
or whatever day list fairly easily and query it locally with an in house 
RBL.

I appreciate your input and suggestions Marc.

What about the ip ranges? I have the impression that once you register these, it gets less. There are specific providers offering their networks for such services. Legitimate providers do not want to get involved with such networks, because they will end up on blacklists.

I am having a combination of ip ranges that I have registered, these get from me an url in a confirmation, only when this url is clicked the email is accepted.
You could tune this for your environment.

Maybe you can do something with the connection country

We are specifically targeted Marc.  We have 130 domains on the shelf via 
UDRP disputes right now and 30 more in progress.

What I am trying to accomplish with this issue at hand is to score up 
and quarantine all domains newer than 380 days.  I am fully aware that 
there will be some legit email quarantined and I am fine with that, 
those can be vetted and released.

What I am targeting will not be on an abusive domains on any RBL 
anywhere as they buy these domains for the sole purpose of targeting our 
company and our clients.  They only have to succeed once where I have to 
succeed every time to keep them from stealing large sums.

I may need to look at this differently, more like checking against a DNS 
based list of domains over a year old for example and giving those a 
negative score if necessary.

Yes some already block/timeout with the 2nd lookup. But there is a flip side. There are dns blacklists that have domainnames that are currently being abused.
