i use gmail to signup to adult programs. unlike adult hosting companies, i know its an email client that won't fuck up my emails or have downtime.

:1orglaugh People aren't stupid, a quick search and removal of company@ from the list will help them evade detection.

The ones I am worried about are the disguised ones where there is no way to tell. For example, [email protected] and you have a list or db which connects e-mails to sponsors.

there´s no reason for it...
u get spam spam spam

Better block you too, not sure if I can trust a .org over a .com

I don't think it's really that big of a deal. If you no longer want to allow free domains then don't. I don't think it's a big deal to have a yourdomain.com email forwarding to a Gmail account of a person wants to use Gmail.

Just check the site they put down as a reference. If you have any doubts email them and ask how they plan to promote you. :2 cents:

And people should trust you after you felt it to be of high priority to test the functionality of an electric fence with a crustacean?

ive used yahoo email since the begining...I'm actually paying 20 bucks per year for yahoo mail i love it, ofcourse if someone disallows free emails i have no problem entering my domain email that redirects to my yahoo address.

Found this old thread while looking for something else
 

I prefer using Yahoo and Gmail for everything. When my free email account is not acceptable, I usually move on. Convenience is key.

There's better ways to filter fraudulent affiliate signups. Personally I have no problem with free email accounts such as gmail. But when that's pair with a non adult url, a url that isn't there or one that doesn't exist then red flags go up.

how to prevent fraud? do censorship! stupid and ill if you ask me, making problems to real webmasters cause you are paranoic and dont know how to fight fraud. what is your program? so i dont need to waste my time with registering there ...

don't like it

I like my gmail as well but tons of fraud is going on with the free email accounts.. plain and simple.

I use any of my domain emails to sign up for a new program and it would really rock if all other webmasters did the same imho.

i dont have a non-free email account except for my uni one.. why would i bother...whats wrong with free web based ones... To be honest i dont even know how to set one up on my domains although i imagine it would be easy? However Im not getting a new email just to sign up to a programme

I've been doing that too. :thumbsup

I am surprised people are still whining over those who use free emails as business emails. Frankly, gmail rocks. Sure I could set up forwarders, and do on occasions, but generally I use my gmail/s for most things. If I am a fraudster it isn't really hard to register an $8 domain...
