WE takes a zero tolerance approach to the sending of Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) or SPAM over our network. Very simply this means that YOU may not use or permit others to use our network to transact in UCE. YOU may not host, or permit hosting of, sites or information that is advertised by UCE from other networks. Violations of this policy carry severe penalties, including termination of service.
a. Violation of OUR SPAM policy will result in severe penalties. Upon notification of an alleged violation of our SPAM policy, WE will initiate an immediate investigation (within 48 hours of notification). During the investigation, WE may restrict YOUR access to the network to prevent further violations. If YOU are found to be in violation of our SPAM policy, WE may, at its OUR discretion, restrict, suspend or terminate YOUR account. Further, WE reserves the right to pursue civil remedies for any costs associated with the investigation of a substantiated policy violation. WE will notify law enforcement officials if the violation is believed to be a criminal offense. b. First violations of this policy will result in an "Administrative Fee" of $250 and your account will be reviewed for possible immediate termination. A second violation will result in an "Administrative Fee" of $500 and immediate termination of your account. Users who violate this policy agree that in addition to these "Administrative" penalties, they will pay "Research Fees" not to exceed $175 per hour that OUR personnel must spend to investigate the matter. PLEASE, DO NOT SPAM from your account. c. As our Customers are ultimately responsible for the actions of their clients over OUR network, it is advisable that Customers develop a similar, or stricter, policy for their clients.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Anyone hosting websites or services on their server that support spammers or cause any of our IP space to be listed in any of the various Spam Databases will have their server immediately removed from our network. The server will not be reconnected until such time that you agree to remove ANY and ALL traces of the offending material immediately upon reconnection and agree to allow us access to the server to confirm that all material has been COMPLETELY removed. Severe violations may result in immediate and permanent removal of the server from our network without notice to the customer. Any server guilty of a second violation WILL be immediately and permanently removed from our network without notice.
6. NETWORK.
a. IP Address Ownership: If WE assigns YOU an Internet Protocol address for YOUR use, the right to use that Internet Protocol address shall belong only to US, and YOU shall have no right to use that Internet Protocol address except as permitted by US in OUR sole discretion in connection with the Services, during the term of this Agreement. WE shall maintain and control ownership of all Internet Protocol numbers and addresses that may be assigned to YOU by US, and WE reserves the right to change or remove any and all such Internet Protocol numbers and addresses, in OUR sole and absolute discretion. Our allocation of IP addresses is limited by ARIN's new policies. These new policies state that use of IP addresses for IP based virtual hosts will not be accepted as justification for new IP addresses. What this means to you is that you MUST use name-based hosting where possible. WE will periodically review IP address usage, and if WE find that clients are using IP addresses where name-based hosting could be used, WE will revoke authorization to use those IP addresses that could be used with name-based hosting. All IPs that are allocated to client must be utilized within 48 hours. If allocated IPs are not utilized within this time frame WE reserves the right to retract IPs that are not being utilized without notifying the client b. Bandwidth Usage. WE will monitor YOUR bandwidth. WE shall have the right to take corrective action if YOUR usage negatively impacts other clients. c. System and Network Security: Users are prohibited from violating or attempting to violate the security of the OUR Network. Violations of system or network security may result in civil or criminal liability. WE will investigate occurrences, which may involve such violations and may involve, and cooperate with, law enforcement authorities in prosecuting Users who are involved in such violations. These violations include, without limitation: i. Accessing data not intended for such User or logging into a server or account, which such User is not authorized to access. ii. Attempting to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measures without proper authorization. iii. Attempting to interfere with service to any user, host or network, including, without limitation, via means of overloading, "flooding", "mail bombing" or "crashing". iv. Forging any TCP/IP packet header or any part of the header information in any e-mail or newsgroup posting. v. Taking any action in order to obtain services to which such User is not entitled.
7. SERVER ABUSE.
If Lavalhost.ca™ determine that YOU are using too much of the server's resources and therefore abusing the server, we have the right to suspend YOUR domain without any notice. It is then up to YOU to contact us and formulate a plan to get that domain activated again. We are quick to suspend any domain that abuses the server's resources due to the shared nature of the server and the negative impact an abusing domain has on other domains/accounts on the same server.

Lavalhost.ca™ Mailing Policy and Limits
If YOU accept this Agreement without reading it in its entirety, YOU are still bound by this Agreement in its entirety.
1. Limits.
There is a 200 hourly email limit per domain this limit is also applied towards mailman. If you send over this amount in any hour most of the e-mails will bounce back with a undeliverable error.
Many of our servers have a 60 pop checks per hour limit per domain. If you go over this you're likely to get a wrong password error message saying login incorrect. Just wait an hour and it will automatically unlock you. to prevent this from happening again make sure to disable auto checking or at least set it to something higher such as 10 minutes.
Any mailing list larger than 5,000 will require a semi dedicated or dedicated hosting solution from us. Note: dividing one large list into smaller lists to get below this limit is not allowed.
2. Mailing Lists Rules
1. Anytime you're sending a message no matter how large your e-mail list is you must throttle it. We recommend you throttle it to at the very least sending 1 email every 6 seconds. If the mailing list software you're using does not allow you to throttle you must switch to something else. We recommend phplist which can be found in your control panel under fantastico. If you do not throttle and you try sending let's say 500 emails the server will try sending all 500 in 1 second which is not possible. This will cause the server load to go very high and for the entire server to be sluggish until this process is completed. It is our job to keep the server up and running without being sluggish. Anyone who causes the servers load to go high will be suspended and the process will be terminated. If you choose not to throttle you will most likely be suspended for crashing the server.
2. Any mailing list over 900 emails is only allowed to be sent to during off-peak times to prevent high server loads. Off peak times qualify as all day Saturday and Sunday, and 1am - 8 am eastern time M-F.
3. You are not allowed to mail to a mailing list you were given or purchased. This is spamming because they never agreed to you personally sending them mail. We do not care how you justify it. This is spam and will result in termination of the offending account.
4. Any unsolicited e-mail being sent will result in termination of the offending account. We take a zero tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail.
5. Any mailling list MUST comply with all guidelines set forth by the Canada and the United States.
These can be found at: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/canspam.htm
br>
6. No Direct SMTP mailers are allowed. An example of this is DarkMailer. Any mail should be relayed through the local MTA (localhost:25) for further delivery by the server and not done directly by scripts.
