73.0% gmail.com
8.5% yahoo.com
7.1% icloud.com
2.6% hotmail.com
0.7% outlook.com
0.6% aol.com
0.5% comcast.net

5.8% everything else
@jwz @dnalounge When I see Gmail, I immediately think spam shop, since most of the addresses we block (over 90 per cent) are from there. It makes no sense to me that anyone would want to be on the same domain and be associated with spam. We wouldnʼt pay for services from anyone pitching from Gmail, either.
Not to mention the obvious privacy hole where other people can read your emails.
Note: this was originally at the tail end of another post, but given its significance, it deserved to be its own post. Who knew that Fesshole would help bring up this issue again? Google bros all say this is impossible, or they blame the user, which is usually the case with Google
