.biz domains

Post by Leif »

Can anyone give me a single good reason why I should do anything except delete all emails from any .biz domain at mailserver level?

I have yet to come across any legitimate, moral or respectable purpose for them - their sole purpose appears to be to clog up the internet and irritate the h*ll out of me :crazy:

The .biz TLD is only available for "bona fide business or commercial use", but I suppose that could be anything.

Like you, I've never seen a "bona fide" e-mail from a .biz domain...
Best wishes,
Hans

And I thought .co.uk was/should only be available to bona fide UK companies. It's surprising how many are not, such as KeraGlass.co.uk WHOIS, DNS, & Domain Info (who also claim to be a Limited company, but Companies House have never heard of them...)

OK - thanks. Now added to my black list.
