Universal Acceptance Outreach: jl@decorum.link New gTLD email addresses are spammed [ ref:_00D616tJk._50061FvoUR:ref ]

Dear Admin for Spam Assassin,

Greetings from the ICANN Global Support Center. 

I am reaching out to you because we have received a bug report about your spam filtering service. 

We are reported that the emails from valid addresses, namely jl@decorum.link, are either blocked or filtered as spam by your system when they are sending emails to info@frankweyer.com and info@ruralroute.com, despite the fact that .link email address is whitelisted. 

Kindly please look into and fix this issue. 

To find out more information on NEW generic Top Level Domains (New gTLDs) and email addresses please visit www.uasg.tech. 
You might find the information there helpful as you work to fix this problem. 

Please note that this is a universal acceptance issue. 

Universal Acceptance (UA) is the state where all valid domain names and email addresses are accepted, validated, stored, processed and displayed correctly and consistently by all Internet-enabled applications, devices and systems. 

Due to the rapidly changing domain name landscape, many systems do not recognize or appropriately process new domain names, primarily because they may be more than three characters in length or in a non-ASCII format. The same is true for email addresses that incorporate these new extensions (example: Mike@verycool.business, 华德@犹他.在线). 

To see the list of all New gTLDs, please visit https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/tlds-2012-02-25-en 

The Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG), supported by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), is a community-led, industry-wide initiative working on creating awareness and identifying and resolving problems associated with the universal acceptance of domain names. The purpose of these efforts is to help ensure a consistent and positive experience for Internet users globally. 

I am also including the following links for your quick reference. It contains useful and relevant information about Universal Acceptance.

Hi Seda,

A bug such as this is as akin to contacting a wrench/spanner maker 
because your car won't start.   At the ASF, we produce Free, Open Source 
Software that can be used by anyone and everyone however they choose.

The issue relayed below is an implementation concern with frankweyer.com 
and ruralroute.com as I am not aware of any default rules that 
specifically target the .link TLD.  You'll need to contact them and 
discuss the issue.  Or if you can point to a problem in the tool (not 
the implementation), we would be happy to reconsider.

However, extrapolating further Re: .link and my experience is that 
Uniregistry contacted me in October and I'm monitoring their TLD to 
identify if they have been able to be a handle on the previous abuse 
that plagued the TLD.  There are problems that might be getting resolved 
with the TLD but if you are speaking officially for ICANN,

What feedback can you provide about abuse with specific TLDs?  For 
example, .stream, .trade, .pw, .top, .press, .bid & .date are fraught 
with problems.   Please feel free to reach out to me at 
www.linkedin.com/in/kmcgrail so we can talk further offline.

Regards,
KAM

Re: Universal Acceptance Outreach: jl@decorum.link New gTLD email addresses are spammed [ ref:_00D616tJk._50061FvoUR:ref ]

Posted by Markus Clardy <ma...@clardy.eu>.
SpamAssassin to my knowledge doesn't punish any TLDs out of the box.

If a system is blocking mails because of the TLD, then that is the fault of
the receiving server, and has nothing to do with SpamAssassin itself,
especially since SpamAssassin doesn't block any mails.

This is a configuration on the receiving server's side, and not to do with
SpamAssassin.
