Unfortunately, most of the phishes are under many layers of the main domain.
Google, Web of Trust (WOT) and many other virus scanner seem to find it, as
was rightly pointed out SaneSecurity's signatures of Phishtank.  So as far
as phishes we are getting, so far it has not being proved to be very useful,
even though some of them were in the wild for a while and Google and WOT
caught up with them.

every URIBL check only tests the main-domain of a link, that's how it 
works - you can't qualify something as "not very useful" because you 
checked a single site

if you have a sensible RBL scoring in front of the contentscanner you 
won't see much hits because mailservers sending the phishing crap are 
instantly known and blocked
