It doesn't actually matter whether it's free - freemail is a bit of a
misnomer.  It is, as you say, a list of domains used in email
addresses. That makes it much less effective on received headers
because it's very common for freemail providers to use separate domains
for server names.

It's also worth bearing in mind that legitimate mail from commonly
spoofed domains may be forwarded through freemail servers.
