Ron from .xyz here and I’d love to clear the air - some outdated mail servers irresponsibly block all new TLDs - even though their junk mail filters are proven to work and should work on content that is junk - no matter the TLD. The .xyz TLD has a lower “badness index” score than most legacy TLDs as reported by Spamhaus.org. Email deliverability issues are most often caused by the domain reputation, email content, or the setup, i.e. using free email services on shared hosting, low mailbox usage, using a shared IP to send email, and violations of the CAN-SPAM Act.

We have made it our mission to provide affordable domain name options for the many entrepreneurs, small businesses, and individuals who need or want more options without extreme limitations, and they deserve to be treated the same as those using legacy TLDs. Our Anti-Abuse team successfully combats abuse with the assistance of our numerous cybersecurity partners and contributions from individuals in the community like yourself. This plus providing education on false information helps protect the reputation of all our amazing end users like HotGlue in the .xyz community.

We feature many of these successful businesses and prominent individuals using .xyz domains every Wednesday since 2014. Check them all out here: https://gen.xyz/ww.
