One of the most serious abuses is using your account to send unsolicited commercial e-mail, otherwise known as "spam." The following are examples of spam and are blatantly contrary to our Terms of Service.

We take a very dim view of SPAM. It is one of the most annoying things encountered on the Internet. Any wolfbyte customer found to be spamming will have his or her account deleted immediately - no questions asked. There is no warning or second chance.

We are not attempting to censor, nor are we attempting to curtail the business of our customers. But as a whole, SPAMming hurts our members and us more than it helps the one spammer. Do yourself, and us, a favor. DON'T DO IT.

  • Commercial e-mail: Defined as sending unsolicited commercial e-mails. This is prohibited. You are not permitted to use your wolfbyte account or e-mail alias/account of your Virtual Server to send unsolicited commercial e-mail. Using an e-mail address hosted anywhere on wolfbyte servers to collect responses from unsolicited commercial e-mail is prohibited. This includes using a throw-away, free e-mail account to promote your wolfbyte based Virtual Server and redirectors for the same account.
  • Mail Bombing: Defined as sending large volumes of unsolicited e-mail to individuals from your wolfbyte based Virtual Server account. This is strictly prohibited
  • Harassment: Defined as sending threatening or harassing e-mail after being requested to stop, is prohibited. Extremely threatening or harassing e-mail never is allowed.
  • Newsgroup Spamming: Defined as excessive cross-posting, or posting the same article to several newsgroups. This is prohibited. Generally accepted standards allow no more than 15 newsgroups, or cross-postings, for a single article or substantially similar articles. Such articles may be canceled. You are not allowed to use your wolfbyte based mail facilities to SPAM the newsgroups.
  • Off topic or inappropriate postings: There is no restriction on content, except as defined by each newsgroup. Continued posting of off-topic articles is prohibited. Please note that commercial advertisements are off-topic in the vast majority of newsgroups.
