Thats a TLD ban. Meaning *.ru is banned.

same applies for my domain for example, I ban *.xyz, *.date and a few others.

  Marc, my domain already has problems sending mail to you, for example:

<Marc at f1-outsourcing.eu>: host spam1.roosit.eu[212.26.193.45] said: 553
5.3.0
     550We have blocked this toplevel because of spam. Use another toplevel
     until the maintainer has resolved these issues (in reply to MAIL FROM
     command)

The ".top" TLD is popular among Russian spammers, ".ru" is a
little too obvious and honest for what it is, unless that's part of
Biden's sanctions, the others you mention look like vice domains, but
looking at GitHub:

* https://github.com/dovecot

There's an "Oy" which is a Finnish "osalliyhdistys" and
a ".fi" -- I have not heard of recent hostility between Finland and
Russia, notwithstanding the Ukraine situation. Your mail client is all
configured in Swedish, but Sweden & Finland are not officially part of NATO,
AFAIK, and Sweden has its own currency whereas Finland did give up the markka in
exchange for the Euro some 20-odd years ago I don't recall.

I don't understand at all why banning tld is reasonable.
I'm not rich. I buy .rocks and .xyz
.rocks really works well with the domain name.
.xyz is short, memorable and easy to type.

I can't afford to buy domain names that cost $200 a year to purchase.
.com .net .info , etc. have run out of the names I wish to use.

I have never ever sent a single spam email, but you would block my
emails? Bluntly said, but without malice, that attitude favors the rich
over the poor. I refuse to trust the BIG guys. My dad uses yahoo and
gets emails yanked away while he is reading it.

Also, I can't find a server company that has IP blocks that are clean
enough. I truly wish I could.

There are many other methods to block spam.
IMHO, blocking by tld is a bit harsh.

But you have the right to do whatever method you wish.
I will only point out my thoughts. SPAM sucks! :-)
