Before I get into email business(I run my own email forwarding service[0]), I don't understand why provider block those domains.
Then I immediately got it. The amount of spam emails from .xyz .click .faith .top is huge. And with every email comes from them, we have to run spam scanner, which isn't cheap. So we have to score those TLDs more sensitive.
https://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/tlds/ https://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/tlds/ can give some insight about spam rate by tld.

- ifreund 5y agoFrom that spamhaus link .xyz has a lower bad percentage (4.4%) than .com (5.1%) and .net (10.5%).
- dredmorbius 5y agoWhat are its positives?
- chmike 5y agoMaybe because .xyz is blacklisted, spamhaus doesn't see them.
- sneak 5y agoSeems like an easy solution is to simply start spamming from .coms like we had to back in my day.
- SilverRed 5y agoThey spam from these weird TLDs because they often have really cheap deals like $1/year for the first registration so you can buy a load of them.
- GuB-42 5y ago> We should have known better from the beginning as we previously founded Outreach.io, the leading sales engagement platform, making us no strangers to email deliverability. In the early days of Outreach, we had utilized some short .xyz domains to use for shortened links in emails sent on behalf of our customers. Translation: We used .xyz for spamming, of course .xyz is associated with spam.
