.mail
What matters in solving spam issues is "to identify the spams (and 
process or delete before receiving them in the mailbox)" but NOT "to 
identify the non-spams". Even if the mail sent using .mail TLD 
guarantees "spam-free" status, this will not bring any benefit to
receivers. Furthermore, there is some risk that the registered .mail
domain name is used by a spammer in his sending spams using a fake
sender's address. This could occur the situation in which the valid
registrant is considered as a spammer by receivers despite the fact 
that he/she has registered .mail in hope to get a guarantee that the 
registarnt is not a spammer. I therefore stand against the creation 
without any proof of technical advantages.
