Generally, agreed. Though every once in awhile, a few would sneak through -- afaict, not YET on one of the major DNSBLs (guess I've got the 'privilege' of being an early send target ). Blocking the TLDs simply reduces the load even further -- no lookups, no A/V or SA processing, nada. Just dropped into a hole early. For my use, there's no harm done to my end. And I'll sure admit to getting satisfaction by not supporting the TLD-hawking parasites :-) With what's left, I'm "99% sure(tm)" I could probably run my server on an RPi ;-) Bottom line is, it costs me less time, resource & effort, and my users are happy. Which makes me happy.
