Si Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Superb.....thank you! On modernbill, we used a similar list and it cut our fraud orders by more than 95%. Will be signing up for maxmind service as well. Cheers. Si 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlB Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Out of interest - if you use this list, what service do you recommend users use for their email? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Out of interest - if you use this list, what service do you recommend users use for their email? Their ISP's email provided with their account, or one of their domains hosted with you or someone else. After all if they are web developers, they will have access to a 'proper' traceable email address. I've not personally seen a downturn in sales since implementing this, just a downturn in fraudulent orders and 0 chargebacks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I would also add, there has also been a better rate of customers renewing each month/year as emails sent out now tend to arrive more often than they do in free email accounts. Customers complaining about not receiving invoice emails, usually tended to be in the 'free email' camp. If they are a webmaster and running a business, they should not put their trust in a free email service. If they do, they pay the price of unreliable service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffeingol Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 If we apply this "add-on" does the order get blocked as part of the signup (so the client/order never gets created)? Right now we're using MaxMind to do the free email blocking and we get a new client in the system and the order gets marked as fraud. This is kind of a pain as we have to go back and cleanup the client then. Thanks, Frank 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS CEO Matt Posted October 23, 2007 Author WHMCS CEO Share Posted October 23, 2007 Yes, it wouldn't allow the user to be created with an email using one of the domains on the list Matt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Yes, it wouldn't allow the user to be created with an email using one of the domains on the list Matt Hi Matt, Can you clarify something for me. Which gets precedence when both are enabled? Maxmind or the Email list? From my side, it looks like, maxmind overrides and the free email address score of 2.5 comes into play and in my case forces a telephone call to the customer signing up. I just want to be sure as I'm happy to use maxmind with the phone verification, but don't want the banned email list to have precedence.

WHMCS CEO Matt Posted October 24, 2007 Author WHMCS CEO Share Posted October 24, 2007 The banned email list will stop the user from ever signing up with an email on one of the domains on the list. Until they signup and checkout, the fraud check isn't run. Doesn't affect orders from existing clients with free emails - only new signups.

ffeingol Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Simon, I think you'll find this is the order you want. Until we put this in orders were getting into the system, affiliate stuff was running and then MaxMind would cause the order to be marked as fraud and we'd have to cancel the affiliate payment (3rd party script) and the client etc. Frank 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberhost Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Installed, tested, works great. Thanks Matt! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isdoo Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Many thanks. BTW - the list omits ones like googlemail.co.uk and hotmail.co.uk - does anyone know a list of other hotmail varieties? I assume all the ones starting with 4 are supposed to start with 4 - seems an awful lot of them LOL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPS Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I just want to confirm that this will only prevent new users from registering w/ free email domain, correct? Existing users can still use their free e-mail address? Is a list of 1300 really needed? Any chance of performance issues with 1300 domains? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 So what happens when someone tries to sign up using one of these free emails? Do they get a message saying that free emails aren't allowed, or does it just give them an error? There are some legit clients out their who use free emails. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
