"EU.org, free domain names since 1996”
You quoted that. Eu.org is a *domain registrar*. Only. They don't
offer any
email service and never did. So how can they "police users for email"?
Do you know any paid domain registrar - for example for .com domain -
that
"polices users for email", if they don't host any email for the user?
There are many who claim that there's a correlation between easily,
cheap (or free) domain names and spam. Their rationale is that spammers
can secure disposable domain names for very low price.
Therefore, they claim, domain names meeting that criteria need to be
subjected to additional scrubbing. Less sophisticated receivers could
simply opt to reject while providers with more sophisticated mechanisms
could implement that "additional scrubbing" in the form of tighter
tolerances, starting the "reputation calculation" from a lower value or
whatever makes sense to them.
Their common goal according to this narrative, is to reduce the amount
of spam these mailbox providers have to deliver to their
products/clients.
There is bound to be conflict on this _operational_ decision.
Registrants of those cheap domains face an uphill battle with their
deliverability to those providers following the above process, while
these same providers see a net improvement on their situation by taking
a simple (to them) step to curb spam.
This is more or less the same line of thought as when discussing about
who is in charge of the network where your mail service sends from.
