The pattern is that I fetched it regularly from the spamhaus gTLD list, but 
also downloaded some "suspicious" ones from the "gTLD ICANN website" (wich 
lists all the custom gTLDs registred)
Those that sound "spammy" enough.

https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-strings

here I picked a lot of the TLDs.

And berlin was a manual block after getting a lot of travel spam advertisment 
from .berlin spammers.
Same with .us that was a manual (wrong) block but found out now that its 
actually a ccTLD that should never be blocked so unblocked it. The gTLDs (the 
new ones, not the "classic" ones) are such spam holes.


Use that site above to find all the "custom" gTLDs and then block the ones that 
sound "too spammy".

Sebastian & all -

two character TLDs are always country code TLDs („ccTLDs“) and never generic 
TLDs („gTLDs“), maintained and organized in the ICANN framework.

Besides that: Why do you block only .berlin, but not some or even all of the 
other gTLDs representing cities or regions?

Even more, I can’t really spot a pattern at all in your blocking regex, it 
appears as a random collection of TLDs. Which is obviously totally fine in 
general - I’d just like to better understand how a certain TLD has made it onto 
that list.

Thanks & best,

-C.
