Free email output can be used as a parameter for custom rules

You can now use the /email/is_free output in minFraud custom rules. This
output is available for transactions submitted through minFraud Insights and
minFraud Factors when you pass the /email/address input as plaintext, or when
you pass an MD5 hash of the /email/address and the plaintext /email/domain
input.
Use of free email providers (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.) by consumers is the norm, so filtering transactions on this data point is often useful only in business-to-business contexts where you expect transactions to be conducted using a business email domain.
You can select the free email output as a parameter in custom rules by selecting minFraud outputs > Is free email when defining a new condition for a custom rule.
