That's a clever workaround, though doesn't the .es TLD requires some kind of tie to Spain? I'm not sure how they could possibly enforce that, but in the purely technical sense, are you technically breaking rules?
No. Not all ccTLD's have restrictions. .es is open to anyone.

> its the edge cases that make your spam folder. Well, from their perspective. Not from any reasonable perspective; I have a few obviously-spam emails in my gmail spam folder right now, but I've had plenty of problems with gmail refusing to deliver completely legitimate email to me.
If there was no filtering how many spammessages would you receive? I suspect any more than you see

crypto space is making use of the new ICANN approved TLDs pretty rapidly their customers are on discord, twitter, telegram and wechat so email delivery is not a factor the entire sites and revenue drivers are entirely client side (with the "servers" being the smart contract methods stored on the nearest blockchain nodes, this has only one initial upload cost but functions similarly to lambda functions except the user…
not sure why you're being downvoted -- one of the coolest parts of the web3 world is that you don't need a server, you just need static web hosting. This means that besides blockchain network / router speed (most transactions get broadcast through a few friendly or public nodes for each network, and each network has different transaction speeds) interacting with a web3 application is often extremely fast. The best we…
many of the people with the capacity to understand the primary market or revenue generating side are too busy hating that "crypto" gained an additional context that is more widely used than their enthusiast obscure cryptography interest and they use every comment section to let everyone know that when they aren't busy weeping under their Alan Turing shrines before they have flashbacks of boarding the bus at 7am to work for an ad conglomerate, a life they ironically respect more.
Got a nice .xyz domain mainly for mail with SPF,DKIM correctly set up and tested against multiple validators. No big issues so far except for the HR department of a potential new gig which can painlessly mail me@mydomain.xyz about job interviews BUT never get my replies back. I don't who to blame more in this mess: - Me for playing smartass instead of using a @gmail.com because they impose the rules so everybody comp…
> One surprising side effect of having a .xyz domain is that the mere inclusion of .xyz inside of a text message will result in a silent delivery failure for many providers. This is wild to me. Tested it out myself and I couldn't send an SMS with a spot.xyz link to/from Google Voice T-Mobile. And no "failed delivery" notice either, just a silent failure. And yet I still get so many texts that are obviously spam or ph…
Whoa. I use an xyz domain daily. This thread is eye-opening. Here's the reply from a SpamAssassin validator. My domain is almost marked as spam solely on TLD grounds. What's the point of a TLD if it isn't a first-party domain on the internet? SpamAssassin Score: -0.599 Message is NOT marked as spam Points breakdown: -5.0 RCVD_IN_DNSWL_HI RBL: Sender listed at https://www.dnswl.org/, high trust [***.***.***.*** listed…
I host my own email, and I got nothing but huge amounts of spam from .xyz domains, so I manually increased the SpamAssassin score for just .xyz to +4.0, as KAM was only adding 0.75 for it. It's the only TLD I've had to do that for. Unfortunately for the people with legitimate uses, for email admins it's just a really easy (and arguably necessary) shortcut to block a ton of spam.

They basically only accept pre-approved providers. If your have your own domain and infrastructure you have to petition them to whitelist you. Totally insane.
If you can read German, this guy who runs a shop decided to block himself all of t-online emails since they basically run email out of specification. https://blog.rolandmoriz.de/2020/09/21/t-online-blockiert-ma...

So put it in a spam folder. If I had a spam texts folder that showed me everything I was being blocked from, I'd both appreciate it and not feel this massive breach of trust that things being sent to me are being completely ignored by a third party system. The system that does this is absolutely primed for censorship, and we have no way to know it's not being used.
> So put it in a spam folder. 1) Neither the SMS protocol nor any phone I've ever seen has any mechanism to file messages in "folders". 2) Processing SMS messages and delivering them to subscribers has a cost. Doing so for high-volume junk messages would place a significant burden on carriers. 3) Most carriers used to charge subscribers for receiving SMS messages. Some still do! Charging subscribers to receive spam S…
My phone (ROG Phone 3 w/ Android 11) automatically flags spammy texts into a "Spam & Blocked" folder, I assumed this was a stock Android feature - is it not?
Luckily, they could still book me in but at a different time slot...
