Domain age is a good metric to factor in. But I'm always fascinated with
some people's desire to block all messages with extremely new domains.
Keep in mind that many large and famous businesses... who have fairly
good mail sending practices... sometimes launch a new products complete
with links to very newly registered domains. Same is often true for ...
Or for public research organizations which are often "reformed" by
the Government, with change of name and consequential change of
domain (even if the IP of the DNS and MX is unchanged :-))
Take my case, I've been working at the same physical place since
1982 and the name of my institute or of the organization it belongs
to has changed about 7 times. And it does not only occur in this
country (Italy), I've seen (mainly dealing with mailing list
re-subscriptions) similar changes at least in France and UK ..
Not saying this doesn't happen. But also, how often does someone
register a domain, move all their users to the new domain, have the
server all reconfigured to use this new domain, all within the first
day?
I know personally, I have always taken at least a week to do it,
mainly just to make sure I didn't miss anything, and to double check
everything as I go. The Last thing I do is force users to change their
email addresses.
