As a side question, what's the rationale for this? Is there a list of nsfw gTLDs?

.xyz (alongside some others like .top, .biz?) in particular have a reputation for phishing/malware/etc., I think because they’re among the cheapest to register.

The funny thing is, the number 1 & 2 spam/phishing/malware domains that hit my company's mail server is gmail.com and outlook.com, followed by random .com domains.

My domain block list is approaching 1,000 domains and I don't think I have a single .xyz or .biz in there. There's a few .top. But the overwhelming majority is .com.

I feel like .zip and .mov gTLDs are more understandable to have blocked

.top is definitely a shady spot. They’re inexpensive and not very responsive to abuse reports - https://www.icann.org/uploads/compliance_notice/attachment/1...

.xyz though I mostly associate with abc.xyz, the investor relations page for Alphabet.
