The Perils of an .xyz Domain
> One surprising side effect of having a .xyz domain is that the mere inclusion of .xyz inside of a text message will result in a silent delivery failure for many providers.<p>This is wild to me. Tested it out myself and I couldn't send an SMS with a spot.xyz link to/from Google Voice <-> T-Mobile. And no "failed delivery" notice either, just a silent failure. And yet I still get so many texts that are obviously spam or phishing attempts.
