Better case would be to automatically discover that a TLD is bad but also provide for the possibility that a given domain in the TLD is fine using a reputation based system.
Of course, then there's the "automatically know what the TLD is" problem since it's not just the last segment. And having enough traffic to be able to learn and a way for some mail to get through so that you can learn the "good" domains. And then have people complain that the free not-quite TLD they use is labeled as bad and they get caught up in it because they don't have enough traffic to be labeled as good. Anyways, if your traders don't get the email updates from abc.xyz because you blocked the entire TLD, they'll probably get annoyed... and if enough money was involved, you may lose your job. Which is to say, how you handle these things have more to do with the level of effort you're willing to put in for the payoff and what your customers require. As a sender, you may want to avoid these instead of trying to work around the implicit penalty.
