If I could have it my way, I would say no gTLD’s should be allowed to transmit any email messages whatsoever. And force them to either use something like sendgrid.com or to purchase a primary .com, .org, .net .co.uk whatever etc.. But thats just me. It’s not a nice world but it is just the world we live in today.

According to a 2015 paper, 85% of new gTLDs domains was some form of parking, defensive redirect, unused, etc: <http://conferences2.sigcomm.org/imc/2015/papers/p381.pdf>

99% ? That's a pretty high figure there.

1. Which is why abusers are registrars' best customers and why (some) registrars work so very hard to support and shield them.
2. As an aside, I've been doing a little research project for a few years, focused on domains. I've become convinced that *at least* 99% of domains belong to abusers: spammers, phishers, typosquatters, malware distributors, domaineers, combinations of these, etc.
In the last year, I've begun thinking that 99% is a serious underestimate. (And it most certainly is in some of the new gTLDs.)
