Hi Markus, We add weight to the .us domain, too, based on the fact that most legit domains are the major TLDs. We adjust the weight based on the traffic patterns of our users, and add exceptions/counterweights as needed.
There were a lot of TLDs added recently, and most of those went on our filter list... e.g. .pink, .red, .club, .pictures, .rocks, .website, .xyz, etc. Darin.

We here usually don’t think about blocking or punishing .us Must be some kind of a centralist view of the world. BTW: Someone some years ago has discovered that it’s a round world and newer studies claim that thus strange thing called Internet allows to communicate from one side of the globe to the other…. at least usually… ;-) Markus Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Randy Armbrecht Gesendet: Mittwoch, 5.

And a little less weight on the .eu TLD Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone -------- Original message -------- From: Darin Cox Date:11/05/2014 12:07 PM (GMT-05:00) To: [email protected] Subject: [MBF] Re: Use FILTER-COUNTRY Hi Tina, A year or so ago we added a custom filter to check the TLD and add weight as appropriate. We added the .link to that filter last month, giving it just enough weight to reach our hold limit. Haven't had any FPs as a result of this filter. Darin. From: Tina Cline Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2014 11:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MBF] Use FILTER-COUNTRY I am fed up with the .link TLD emails that are not failing enough spam tests. I don't and can't possibly think of any legit email coming from this TLD. Would there be benefit to add and activate the FILTER-COUNTRY file in Declude to exclude or add weight to the TLD .link? Wants to get everyone's opinion. ----------------------------------------------------------- Tina Cline 270net Technologies - IT Support Specialist Phone: 301.663.6000 x200 Fax: 301.663.4410 www.270net.com "Internet Technology for Business and Government" -----------------------------------------------------------
