Has anyone actually gotten a single legit message from that domain?
Never. WTF was ICANN thinking?
I occasionally go through the lists of abused gTLD here:

Thanks for that link. If there were a nice source for how many total
domains were in each TLD you could calculate a useful signal to noise
ratio.
I was recently surprised when I had a user complain that a known
correspondent with a .xyz TLD was being blocked by our filter. I
added a whitelist entry in the user's settings, but also explained
that the domain was _the_ primary reason it was blocked because all we
ever see from it is spam.
So apparently there are some legit (if clueless) users of some of
these TLDs.
