Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Yeps, its been commonplace for about 5 years.
Been really getting bad recently for SPAM.

In fact if you go read up on it, you'll see that the REALLY BIG SEO sellers do it to see which domains to keep based on hits and traffic generated.

Apparently now its being used for SPAM. Huge amounts of SPAM domains are being setup automatically. The tasting cost little to nothing and can be automated.

Its bad.
New Is anyone blocking email based on domain age?

New Here's a question
are the domains being used as the from, or as the hosts actually sending the mail? Or just as a place to park the link that the spam points to?
New depends
there are several sites that score domains and new are usually scored in a spam like way

New I've gone and done some a-googling
According to teh goog, this problem was largely solved in '09. Anything that might've changed in the last little while to kill that solution?
New Ah, good point
The "from" was Hotmail on all of them in this batch. The "tasted" domain was in a link in the body.

(That was supposed to be attached to your other comment.)
