<chuckle> I've made it a standard practice to permanently blacklist
new gTLDs as soon as they go live.  .mobi, for instance.  I figure
the only people buying domains there are (a) abusers like spammers,
phishers and domain speculators (b) folks trying to keep domains
away from (a) and (c) people too stupid to use a "mobi" subdomain
to do exactly what they could do already.  In any of these cases,
there's no need to accept any mail from them, ever.
