[tor-talk] Denied with disposable/free mail services?

[grarpamp <grarpamp@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've noticed that many web forums deny creation of new forum accounts
if an email address from a disposable maildrop is given, ie:
mailinator, etc. This makes me think the forum software includes
in its popular distribution a list of these known maildrops?

I've also noticed major social sites denying these maildrops as
well.

And in some rare cases (though I failed to keep notes) I've seen
some sites denying Yahoo and even Gmail because they are free.


Although this is only partially related to Tor, I wanted to survey
peoples experiences with denials keyed to attempted use of particular
mail service providers. What are the trends or characteristics here?

So called disposable maildrops are a special case that more sites
tend to refuse (for no real reason given that many full yet free
mail services exist).

I'm more interested in experiences with regular full (IMAP/POP/SMTP/HTTP)
yet free mail services being denied? And if that denial varies based
on the perceived (presumably as seen by the target site's management)
size, glamour, professionalism, security, catered user base, or
obscurity of the mail service you attempted to use?


Note: I'm not referring to signing up for the mail service itself,
we know that is commonly blocked. But about using certain @mailprovider
domains at your site of interest.
