I think they're already looking into it:

Forget about the negative consequences. They are simply abusing their control over these TLDs to direct users who make typos to their site. Anyone know appropriate VeriSign, ICANN, or other e-mail addresses that we can express our dissatisfaction to? Wrolf Courtney Donovan Data Systems, Inc.

It has a very negative effect on some tests, particularly NO_DNS_FOR_FROM which caught roughly 2% of spam with a 99.9% accuracy rate (those are my real-time numbers which are better than my corpus numbers since the test is highly time-sensitive). If you object to the change, complaining to ICANN and Verisign might not hurt. If you take the further step of switching your registrations elsewhere, I would suggest calling Verisign to let them know why (and give them your name and the domain name you have moved so they know you were a paying customer). As far as the SpamAssassin DNS tests go, I'm thinking about the best course of action. Someone might come up with a better solution (that requires less work on our part) than treating their web server IP address to be the same thing as NXDOMAIN.
