Blanket ban rules are extremely lazy and unacceptable in 2026, especially for Fortune 500s. It’s extremely cheap to use a scoring system instead.

- thih9 4mo agoSure, but blanket bans are even cheaper.
- Martinussen 4mo agoUnacceptable for who? It's definitely more than acceptable for a lot of people.
- strictnein 4mo agoReally don't understand what "unacceptable" even means in this context. It is perfectly acceptable for a company to control internet access. More to the point though, what is this cheap and easy domain scoring system that does a better job than a blanket ban? The best domain reputation provider, DomainTools, definitely isn't providing their data for cheap, nor is it always the fastest. We pay a substantial amount to them for thousands of requests a day, something we reserve for enriching actual security incidents, not because someone wants to go to catparty.foobar or whatever.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 4mo agoYou say this as if the people implementing TLD blocks even understand what the term scoring system means
- monster_truck 4mo agoThey really aren't when you are operating at ISP scale. Especially when there are 20+ years of evidence of said scoring systems being abused until they calcified into the mess that is modern email hosting
