Email::IsFree - Detect whether e-mail is from free provider

  use Email::IsFree;

  # returns 1
  print Email::IsFree::by_domain("hotmail.com");
  print Email::IsFree::by_email("foo@hotmail.com");

  # returns 0
  print Email::IsFree::by_domain("aol.com");
  print Email::IsFree::by_email("bar@aol.com");

This module detects whether an e-mail address belongs to a free e-mail provider such as hotmail.com or yahoo.com. It currently contains over 6000 domains. Additions and corrections are welcome.

This module can be used to screen credit card orders based on e-mail. Many credit card scamsters use free, anonymous email accounts with another person's name to place fraudulent orders.
