minus-squaregen/EriclinkfedilinkEnglish15•edit-21 year agoObviously, ProtonMail shouldn’t be on here, but is this a list anyone even uses?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish20•1 year agoLooks like it has 2 stars… So I’m going to say no (Just from preview, didn’t follow link)
minus-square@misophistlinkEnglish15•edit-21 year agoIt’s a list of places you can get free, disposable email addresses. Protonmail fits here. Now, why anybody would use this list for mail filtering is a whole different question. They’d be blocking some huge email providers.
minus-square@misophistlinkEnglish6•1 year agoYes, but some are more difficult to get. Personal domains cost money. Edu, gov, and most business emails are harder to get.
minus-square@jordanlundlinkEnglish1•1 year agoQuite a few companies block free email addresses from filling out forms due to abuse. Happens all the time.
minus-square@gingersneaklinkEnglish2•1 year agoWhat company in their right mind blocks Gmail? Also, who pays for email?
minus-square@jordanlundlinkEnglish2•1 year agoCompanies that engage in business to business services. Say you have a free demo of the product you’re selling, but you want to limit downloads to other legitimate businesses, because that’s your market. You gate it behind a form, and rig the form submission to reject free and ISP email addresses. So [email protected] - desirable and allowed. [email protected] or cox.net - not your market, block form submission. Happens ALL the time.
