i guess there must be a DNSBL for that somewhere?
btw, the registrar for these is usually enom.com.

It is in alpha. I would be keen to hear how it does for you.
Separately, I'm building some technology that acts essentially as a
next-generation DNSBL: when queried, in addition to returning a
response from a local lookup table, the server does some independent
research as well: it looks for the whois record, determines the
registrar, and and looks up the reputation of that registrar. All of
this, and more, contributes to the reputation score, and shows up in
the response. This work is occurring under the aegis of
