The trouble I see with this, is that legitimate web hosts commonly run several domains off one server, distinguishing by host headers. So assuming that because 10 domains point at the same IP they must be parked, is a bad assumption.
It is. You need to have pre-determined (manually done) of what servers have these "parked" pages. Then if you see other domains pointing to
the same server, its almost always another "parked domain". But as Randy points, just because its website is "parked" does not mean domain is not being used in some other way. But in my opinion this still qualifies domain as "parked" because common use of "parked domain" term has to do with content of its website and does not imply that domain is or is not being used in some unique way for email or some other traffic.

Characterized by having no content of value.this needs to be "no original content of value" BTW - for those who are still wondering about the question of detectingthis in semi-automated way, I recommend looking at what nameservers are used as way to determine if it is likely to be parked domain. Not perfect but you'll find large number of such domains and if that does not do itthen looking at common ip addresses of where the domain (www) is pointed to will help determining this even more.
