Read NANOG archives - Verisign now allows immediate (well, within about 10 minutes) updates of .com/.net zones (also same for .biz)
Yes, I was aware of that.
while whois data is still updated once or twice a day.
I (wrongly) assumed that the initial whois data would be immediately there to be seen at registration time....
That means if spammer registers new domain he'll be able to use it immediatly and it'll not yet show up in whois (and so not be immediatly identifiable to spam reporting tools) - and spammers are in fact using this "feature" more and more!
What a lovely well thought out feature....---Mike
