Does anyone know how to check if someone is signing up with a free e-mail account, as opposed to a valid e-mail account. Has anyone written a script to prevent people with free e-mail accounts to sign up, and how can this be achieved?

Taken from another post:

3 When registering, ban certain e-mail suffixes (eg @hotmail.com) for users' e-mail addresses
Again, this would require a change in inc_register.asp. Where is does a check for nulls in the email address, a check similar to if InstrRev(emailaddress, "@hotmail.com") > 0 then errormsg would need added.
