Hi,
I don't know who's maintaing http://spamcheck.freeapp.net/two-level-tlds but I'd think a couple of domains could be added for .ar (Argentina).
I only see: com.ar (commercial) org.ar (non-commercial) net.ar (isp's and the like)
Argentina also uses: gov.ar (government) mil.ar (armed forces) edu.ar (universities and university-related research groups) esc.edu.ar (elementary schools, high schools and other (non-universitary educational institutions).
Regards.

What about private companies that also sell two-level tld's ? In Denmark the national registrar only registers .dk addresses, but a private company has bought co.dk and are now acting as a registrar for that "tld", so anyone can buy a co.dk domain. Should those be added to the list as well ?

In Argentina domain names are not sold yet... they're delegated by the NIC (currently within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) following a set of rules.
In short, any person or company, local or foreign, can ask and get a .com.ar domain provided it hasn't been reserved yet.
To get a .net.ar you must be a locally registered ISP (on the equivalent of the FCC).
To get a .org.ar you must be a locally incorporated non-profit organization.
To get a .gov.ar you must be a National, Provincial or local government office or agency.
To get a .edu.ar you must be a locally recognized high-level educational institution or research group.
To get a .esc.edu.ar you must be a locally recognized school... I think now, if you're a school you can also get a direct .edu.ar, but I'm not sure.
To get a .mil.ar you must be a part of the National Armed Forces.
Theoretically, domain names must be renewed annually and, at some point, there may be charges for this... but, as of now, if you register a domain name, it's yours free for a nondetermined amount of time.
Eventually, this might change, and there could be direct .ar registrations.
Currently, beside this few second-level-domains, there are a few direct .ar domains (uba.ar, the largest University and educ.ar, a national effort to introduce ITCs in education, are the 2 I recall now).
Regards.

FWIW I have added both uba.ar and educ.ar to the manual whitelist.

I've added co.dk to the two-level-tlds list. That will prevent co.dk (i.e. the new registrar itself) from being blocked, but it will not prevent spammer.co.dk from being blocked, if they happen to register a bad guy.

Thanks much for your note. I've added the following to the two-level-tld list:
gov.ar mil.ar edu.ar
I added esc.edu.ar to the manual whitelist, which is the appropriate place for it.
