Which TLDs should be ignored?  Imposing SMTP domain requirements will
likely reveal a need to make many exceptions.  Do you agree there
should be a means for making exceptions?  Whether making address
assignments exclusively within MS Exchange is considered stupid (and
you'll find agreement there), imposing a requirement that email-
addresses must be valid (in some manner) changes SMTP
interoperability.  As it is now, recipients will normally see these
messages (which may not expect a response), and might even be
considered an alternative to the use of "do-not-reply@" local-parts.

You may ignore any TLD not recognized by ICANN (for that purpose, all
national TLDs are deemed so recognized).

So you may ignore *.invalid, *,local, *.foobar ...
