I in particular .pl does not (no longer?) appear on any of the mentioned misused TLD lists. Also, it is only 20% cheaper than .com from most registrars (never got any spam from .pl, .pl is more expensive than .eu, which is not banned, nor listed on any of the lists, and I got tons of spam from .eu and .com domains, don't ban them right away, just sayin').

// bad domains (arbitrary just for Forward Email, not for Lad)

'.loan',

'.ml',
'.pl',

There is much more TLDs that are used way more for shady business, spam or scam.

Did someone try registering a malicious domain? Did they indeed benefit from the free service's resources? If so, you can restrict free-plan sus domains to incoming mail only, like improvmx.com does (it is currently unable to forward mail to IPv6-only servers, and is closed-source, so I dropped them a bug notice and moved on to checking the alternatives).

As always, it is all about the money, so my ulterior motive is that I am unable to set up my personal domain mail on https://arusekk.pl/ for free because of that. (And I don't like online payments, but this is a different story.)

Imagine banning .com because of 'many malicious sites being there' and it being cheap, come on.

It looks like it was never changed besides 02b9437.

I would like to say something positive, but I am yet to even try the service out, so for now... a huge plus for the website working quite well with scripts disabled, and for localization support.
