I sympathize with that inclination. But I assure you that the domains
".xx.us", where "xx" is a two letter abbreviation for a US state, are
legitimate domains. :)

There does seem to be a bit of compromised account trouble out of of
".k12.xx.us" domains, but that is a drop in the bucket compared to the
"name@..." type spam. Similarly, quit a bit of spam comes from
the .edu TLD.
