And thus we balkanize the Internet.  I would discourage anyone
from deploying such filters, IMHO they do more harm than good.

There are many legitimate domains under ".xyz", ".ovh", ...
and much junk email from ".biz" and ".info". Use decent RBLs
and content-based filters, avoid crude tools that impose
indiscriminate restrictions.

The above is a bad idea, that may be tolerable for their
creator, but such things do harm at a global level.
Don't do it.
