Is there an easy way to detect the registrar of a domain through DNS?
For example - can I easilly figure out if an email I'm processing is

Here's what I'm thinking. I think there's some expensive and highly
secure registrars out there who are the registrar of expensive
domains and probably have no spam domains at all. This could be used
to create white rules.
Can this be done?
you sure there are major registrars you can whitelist?

Not major registrars, minor ones. There's one called markmonitor.com
that seems to have clients like banks and major corporations. My guess
is that this is an extremely expensive registrar where security means
everything and no one is going to accidentally mess with anything. The
idea here is that if the registrar is this expensive and restrictive
then only the good guys will be using them. At least that was what I
would test if there were a way to test it. Apparently there is not.
