HAlex27817yThat's just stupid, a lot of new services just use these new TLDs... (See Alphabet, https://abc.xyz, and many others)
-
@Linux why not? I mean, .xyz is dirt cheap so spammers buy them in bulk... like CheapMedications.xyz, DoctorOnline.xyz and so on (only made up these names but you understand).

Spammers also use domain that have no SPF, DKIM and DMARC.
Blocking the new gTLD's is just stupid. -
@FrodoSwaggins agreed. But country TLDs (ccTLD) are bad to ban, most local TLDs (.se, .eu , .nu etc) requires local verifiable presence so harder for spammers to get.
before .eu was open for everyone, but now only for EU citizens, so eu is (no longer) a spam source.
however, these new gTLDs are internet cancer... Or high-capacity spam pumps. -
Froot75567y@FrodoSwaggins I would argue with the "anyone who takes themselves seriously" point. I know a very decent startup that uses .xyz, pretty sure they take themselves very seriously 😄
