That might work, yes.

The free email hosting providers are always a source of spam. We can't
blacklist them as there are so many valid users. So we started by
blocking (but not blacklisting) signup attempts from all the free mail
providers (gmail, hotmail/outlook/live, yahoo, etc.). It helped.

Too easily broken for us, I'll be honest.
