[PHP] Re: free email providers

2001-07-16 Thread Inércia Sensorial

  Hi,

  I am not trying to discredit your decision to don't accept free emails,
but look for example my situation. The only email accounts I have are on
free email providers. I also connect to the internet using a free ISP, so
there's no pratical reason to use a paid email. So it would be impossible to
confirm my account on your service. If it is a public service, where anyone
can sign up, I think yo should reconsider your decision, unless there is a
strong reason behind to not do it...

 Hi,

 I need to prohibit free email address domains when verifying account
 information via email, and I found this list of free email providers:

   http://www.fepg.net/


 Does anyone know of other lists, or better yet, have a text file of
 free email domains?

I encounter many sites that now refuse free email addresses.  That
alone is a practical reason to use a paid email or paid ISP.

I don't expect the free ISP concept to live much longer.  Look at
NetZero's share price.  They are in danger of delisting by nasdaq
soon.

Yes, that is our intention.

Free email addresses are virtually untraceable.  You can provide
totally fraudulent information when signing up with most of them.

That is unacceptable for our purposes.
