Fun, I can't sign up with my email since it ends with '.email'

They actually put in their own email regex........

Be careful with those new tlds though. They do frequent discounts on them and spammers love them cheap domains. I recently had to black-list "*.top" after a Gandi.net discount on it. The day after each discount I receive loads of spam from the discounted tld, blacklisted .top, .eu, .science, .xys, .party so far.

.EU is widely used in the European Union [1], and is over a decade old. You should probably find a better way to block spam than blocking a whole TLD.

[1] e.g. The European Union's own site, http://europa.eu/, and lots of European science projects I've seen.

I use SpamAssassin and a whitelist generated from my contacts. If I had a .eu in my contacts list, that mail would make its way to my inbox, but till now I've only received sneaky spam from it.
