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. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
