Unsolicited / Commercial E-mail

 

Unsolicited commercial advertisements (spam) are not allowed in e-mail, and will likely result in account cancellation.

IMS takes a zero-tolerance approach to spam originating from our network or for spam advertising of domains hosted on our servers.

The following activities are not allowed:

    * Unsolicited bulk or commercial messages ("spam"). This includes, but is not limited to, bulk mailing of commercial advertising, informational announcements, charity requests, petitions for signatures, and political or religious tracts. Such messages may only be sent to those who have explicitly requested it from your domain.
    * Forging, altering or removing electronic mail headers is prohibited. Any domain sending stealth spam will be terminated without warning and without refund.
    * Sending numerous copies of the same or substantially similar message with the intent to disrupt a server or account ("mail bombing").
    * Spamming News groups: Commercial advertisements are unwelcome in most Usenet discussion groups and on most e-mail mailing lists. Inappropriate posting may result in account cancellation. See the newsgroup or mailing list's charter for whether advertising is allowed or not. "Spamming," or sending a message to many different off-topic newsgroups, is particularly unethical and will be treated as such.
    * Mail may not be used to harass or intimidate others. Harassment, whether through language, frequency of messages, or size of messages, is prohibited. Sending a single unwelcome message may be considered harassment. If a recipient asks to stop receiving e-mail, you must not send that person any further messages.
    * Providing spamware (software used to send bulk e-mail or software used to harvest e-mail addresses) or links to sites providing spamware is strictly prohibited and subject to demand for removal or account cancellation.
    * Running Unconfirmed Mailing Lists. Subscribing e-mail addresses to any mailing list without the express and verifiable permission of the e-mail address owner is prohibited. All mailing lists run by Iyviss customers must be Closed-loop ("Confirmed Opt-in"). The subscription confirmation message received from each address owner must be kept on file for the duration of the existence of the mailing list. Purchasing lists of e-mail addresses from 3rd parties for mailing to or from any Iyviss -hosted domain, or referencing any Iyviss account, is prohibited.
    * E-mail address cultivating, or any unauthorized collecting of e-mail addresses without prior notification of the e-mail address owner is strictly prohibited.
    * Operating an account on behalf of, or in connection with, or reselling any service to, persons or firms listed in the Spamhaus Register of Known Spam Operations (ROKSO) database at www.spamhaus.org is prohibited.
 
If any Customer, or any Third Party User that is a customer of our Customer, uses IMS Services, the IMS Network or its physical infrastructure in a manner that causes IMS to be "blacklisted" or blocked, IMS reserves the right to (i) suspend permanently or terminate IMS services of such Customer and/or (ii) suspend permanently or terminate the access to IMS services, the IMS network or its physical infrastructure by such Third Party User.
 
Network Security

 

Customers may not use the IMS network with an attempt to circumvent user authentication or security of any host, network, or account. This includes, but is not limited to:

    * accessing data not intended for the customer logging into a server or account the customer is not expressly authorized to access
    * password cracking
    * forging any TCP/IP packet header or any part of the header information in any e-mail or newsgroup posting
    * attempting to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measures without proper authorization
    * probing the security of other networks in search of weakness
    * or violation of any other organization's security policy

Customers may not attempt to interfere or deny service to any user, host, or network. This includes, but is not limited to:

    * flooding
    * mail bombing
    * or other deliberate attempts to overload or crash a host or network.

IMS will cooperate fully with investigations of violations of systems or network security at other sites, including cooperating with law enforcement authorities in the investigation of suspected criminal violations. Users who violate system or network security may incur criminal or civil liability. You are solely responsible for any security breaches affecting servers or accounts under your control. If your server or web site is responsible for or involved in an attack on or unauthorized access into another server or system, IMS will shut it down immediately. You will pay any charges resulting from the cost to correct security breaches affecting IMS or any of its other customers.
