    Quite a few companies block free email addresses from filling out forms due to abuse. Happens all the time.

        Companies that engage in business to business services.

        Say you have a free demo of the product you’re selling, but you want to limit downloads to other legitimate businesses, because that’s your market.

        You gate it behind a form, and rig the form submission to reject free and ISP email addresses.

        So someone@microsoft.com - desirable and allowed. someone@aol.com or cox.net - not your market, block form submission.

        Happens ALL the time.
