The name.tld started life as a 3-level TLD. Many people have individual abc.def.name domains (eg: my own robert.menschel.name).
If you strip that third level, that means that if someone registers spammer.menschel.name (which I have no control over), since I cannot register menschel.name), and spammer.menschel.name then gets added to your lists, my robert.menschel.name will be collateral damage.
We've also found professional email marketing companies which are used by both large whitehat companies & some other companies which are far less reputable. These companies regularly use the client.domain.com format for image & href urls, rather than blocking the whole domain we block/whitelist the subdomain.
Is there a problem in leaving this kind of flexibility in the plugin and also the surbl.org SURBL's?
Cheers!
Dave
