In 2024 I have personally received 757 guaranteed non-spam emails from addresses that match your above regex. After removing .us, the number is 525 so far this year.o Out of those 525 wanted emails, here are the TLDs in use: 394 tech 71 xyz 32 email 9 rocks 7 asia 4 space 2 fun 1 works 1 top 1 technology 1 pro 1 live 1 computer In conclusion I personally would not use anything like this, I would at most slightly penalise via spam scoring those above that had 2 or fewer hits. Even then I might want to correlate this with which TLDs actually appear in known spam so as to not just penalise any new TLD. For all time (not just 2024), the breakdown is 2,379 mails and: 613 xyz 596 tech 456 pro 336 email 52 technology 50 space 46 rocks 39 asia 28 top 26 online 26 link 24 work 19 club 15 ninja 7 world 6 fun 5 site 4 click 3 wang 3 solutions 3 science 3 london 3 host 3 computer 2 net 2 live 2 guru 2 gdn 1 works 1 win 1 website 1 vip 1 help 1 global 1 berlin Thanks, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
