Dear Kevin A. McGrail, Thank you for your rapid feedback and detailed explanation.
We have been informed that the email address is spammed despite the fact that it was whitelisted. Therefore, the reporter pointed the Spam Assassin for fixing the issue. I will forward your response back to the reporter an their IT persons. I apologize for any inconvenience for this matter. However, your feedback has been very helpful. With regard to your concern with some specific TLDs, I believe the following link about Domain Abuse Activity Reporting might be useful: https://www.icann.org/octo-ssr/daar According to Oct 2017 report, There are less Spam domains under New gTLDs than Legacy TLDs. https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/presentation-daar-31oct17-en.pdf You may also contact the respective Registry Operator directly or contact the Abuse contact of the Registrar of the record. You may want to contact the domain name's web hosting provider (If the website is using CloudFlare (it is shown on the nameserver in the WHOIS information), please submit the Cloudflare abuse form: https://www.cloudflare.com/abuse/form) Please note, the 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) requires ICANN-accredited registrars to provide abuse contact information, take steps to investigate reports and respond appropriately to any reports of abuse. The full abuse contact requirements can be found in Section 3.18 of the 2013 RAA at: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/approved-with-specs-2013-09-17-en#3.18. For more information about Registrar Abuse Reports and the type of reports, please see: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/abuse-2014-01-29-en. You are probably aware, but just in case you might need I am also including some useful information about stopping SPAMs. Register of Known Spam Operations (ROKSO) The Register of Known Spam Operations (ROKSO) is a register of spam senders and spam services that have been thrown off Internet Service Providers 3 times or more in connection with spamming or providing spam services, and are therefore repeat offenders. Spamhaus believes that these known determined professional spam operations are responsible for approximately 80% of spam on the Internet. The ROKSO database collates information and evidence on each spam operation to assist ISP Abuse Desks and Law Enforcement Agencies.

At the ASF, we produce Free, Open Source Software that can be used by anyone and everyone however they choose. The issue relayed below is an implementation concern with frankweyer.com and ruralroute.com as I am not aware of any default rules that specifically target the .link TLD. You'll need to contact them and discuss the issue. Or if you can point to a problem in the tool (not the implementation), we would be happy to reconsider. However, extrapolating further Re: .link and my experience is that Uniregistry contacted me in October and I'm monitoring their TLD to identify if they have been able to be a handle on the previous abuse that plagued the TLD. There are problems that might be getting resolved with the TLD but if you are speaking officially for ICANN, What feedback can you provide about abuse with specific TLDs? For example, .stream, .trade, .pw, .top, .press, .bid & .date are fraught with problems. Please feel free to reach out to me at www.linkedin.com/in/kmcgrail so we can talk further offline.
