None of which is the preferred method. The whole concept is bound to
fail miserably in the first place.

Yep, that's quite trivial. And you easily can adjust the score for the
custom rule. Read, keep it *low*, so good mail at least got a chance to
reach you. Keep in mind that the option (1) triggers USER_IN_BLACKLIST,
worth a score of 100.

Yeah, I seriously don't think it will do what the OP wants. He
effectively does not want my mail. Neither Martin's reply. But obviously
he wants all the crap sent from freemail addresses, like gmail.
There are perfectly legitimate reasons to use a ccTLD indeed.
