Another vote for GMX. You can have up to 10 Alias email addresses, which are all routed into your main account. which can be disposed of if that particular address gets lots of spam. And a new address added. I might not have explained that very well (it is drunk o'clock) , but have a look, and you'll get what I mean.0

Rubbish.......Never happens.
Not quite Never.
Vodafone do not like AOL. Tried more than a few times to register and never receive their confirmation email.
On the parking boards they tell users not to use Hotmail to register on pepipoo. They do not allow Hotmail.
Ive been to a few sites than have banned some email providers, usually after a major spam attack. But things are better since email providers started to limit the number of accounts users could create or just make it harder work to open an account.
Like yahoo insisting on a phone number when registering. Do they still do that?Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -

Anti fraud systems like Maxming, fraudlab, VariLogix Fraudcall
has this featureBlock orders from free email addresses such as Hotmail & Yahoo!
what it does is block orders being made using free email addresses, once orders are placed you can change the email address to a free email address.
companies can buy plugins etc. that list all know free Email addresses ( so far 1,456 know free email addresses)
The issue is when you have companies like AOL which has free and paid services using the same AOL email addresses.0 -

Go onto fraudlab site for instance and you can check a standard GMX email address, for example, and it will verify it as not disposable.Drinking Rum before 10am makes you

They don't block Gmail or GMX, they search for disposable email address, one-time email address, throwaway email address or temporary email addresses, which are a different thing.
Go onto fraudlab site for instance and you can check a standard GMX email address, for example, and it will verify it as not disposable.
This is part of the list of banned emails that Maxmind and Fraudlab use ( notice the ones i have marked with a red line.

GMX is not red flagged.
I know we won't agree on this so the argument is pointless. Suffice to say I've never known anyone banned from any site for using GMX or Gmail. Any site doing so would lose a hell of a lot of business if they did.
I'm willing to be persuaded. So let me know which site I would be banned from using my email address.Drinking Rum before 10am makes you

I agree, gone are the days of banning online email accounts, you are living in the past or rather the sites than still ban them are, these are the days of the cloud.
They would be cutting out anyone with only an iPad, Tablet or mobile phone.
It is only tired old sites that have not been updated for years that still have that.
As for GMX, it is part of 1&1 and Mail.com, both huge.
Typically companies are banned when they do not take measures to make sure subscribers are genuine. Some go a stage further and share their attempted abuse attempts either via Spamhaus or directly.0
