The MaxMind module would likely say no.
Damn it...
Reject Free Email Service
Ticking this option checks if the e-mail domain used by the customer is from a free e-mail provider and if so will flag the order as fraud. Examples of free e-mail providers include the following: Yahoo.com, Gmail.com, and MSN.com. The MaxMind system currently has categorised 31,000 free e-mail domain providers around the world.
Reject High Risk Country
Select this option to mark an order as fraudulent if the transaction's billing address or IP address is located in a country that MaxMind has flagged as high risk.
It's their lost then...
Ticking [Reject Free Email Service] is stupid.
But ticking [Reject High Risk Country] is certainly a valid choice if you are earning good enough. Reduces a lot of headaches and manpower.
When a host is new and desperate, they sometimes accept orders from high risk nations, then they come to LET to complain about chargebacks. (True story)
I don't know anyone who uses a reject on free email (alone) in practice.
The MaxMind module makes ModulesGarden look like intelligent design.
I have nothing but disdain for that module, which can't really be told what to do, and has a pass/fail mechanism with trivial means of customizing- other than having it throw the order which is marked to Fail into a queue for checking out manually. Seriously, it's bad.
