Default The new Domain ( .date)?

I'm getting heaps of junk mail with sender
addresses with the .DATE domain extension.

Is it safe to assign this to the junk folder? Or
do other types of sites use this too?

Safe in what sense ?

Anybody can latch onto these new domains,
but the users aren't likely to fall for such
things, so buying into such a domain doesn't
make a lot of sense.

Anybody setting up a service or site with .date
on the end, is just asking to be put in the
junk bin.

And that's what I've done, though I'll watch the
results to find any exceptions. Lately there has
been a flood of these junk emails.

If a gTLD can't even keep it's own NIC site running, how much should you
care about any domains it runs?

PROGRESS REPORT:

So far this is working well, using the (.date)
extension as a junk-email filter. Still, I have
my eye on it
