Off the top of my nogging, I've seen the major guys be about 1-3 days from registering. However...... I also saw a pattern a few spammers using ones registered 3 months prior. This is when I began to theorise that there was possibly a spam domain service. Someone simply registering domain names full time, then selling them out to other spammers. I started researching the idea, then got busy on other stuff. When things settle I'll try to pick back up on the research. Sorry I don't have any hard data for you. --Chris
