If I could have it my way, I would say no gTLD’s should be allowed to transmit any email messages whatsoever. And force 
them to either use something like sendgrid.com or to purchase a primary .com, .org, .net .co.uk whatever etc.. 

But thats just me.

It’s not a nice world but it is just the world we live in today.
