graphic content (softcore and/or
hardcore), including, but not limited to,
banners advertising any adult website(s), child

Client's whose website promotes activities that

allowed to have any programs, including but not limited to,
Eggdrop, or any other IRC-related programs, within their
account. Client agrees not to upload the tar file for any of
these programs or to execute them within their account. The

E-mail/Spam Policy
Spamming is the sending of unsolicited e-mail, regardless of
size or volume, to persons the sender does not know or have
prior consent to send the message to. Using fictitious
e-mail addresses @postboxonline.com or any domain name
hosted with postboxonline.com is strictly forbidden.
Spamming also includes sending unsolicited advertisements to
numerous email addresses or newsgroups and/or generating a
significantly higher volume of outgoing email than a normal
user. A violation of this policy extends to clients who send
unsolicited e-mail from a domain name not affiliated or
hosted with postboxonline.com but the mail message makes
mention of a website hosted with postboxonline.com.
postboxonline.com allows clients to send mailings to
subscribers of their own mailing list. Such mailings must
have explicit instructions to the recipient on how to remove
his/her name from the list, and all requests to do so must
be honored immediately. Client agrees not to send mailings
to lists provided by an outside agency or individual. Client
further agrees not to provide mailing list services to
others. Due to the nature of a shared-server environment,
postboxonline.com requests that mailing lists be sent during
non-peak hours, specifically between the hours of 1:00 am
and 5:00 am, Central Time. postboxonline.com reserves the
right to terminate a client's mailing program, whether
provided by postboxonline.com or not, immediately and
without notification to client if said list causes a problem
with the e-mail services of other clients. postboxonline.com
also reserves the right to forbid a client from utilizing
any mail-sending program that jeopardizes the mail services
of other clients.
Providing spamware or spam related programs is strictly
prohibited. Additionally, clients may not have e-mail lists
available for download on the site.
Due to the consumption of system resources and overloading
of the e-mail server, postboxonline.com forbids the use of
the Gossamer Links program by any client.
Trolling, the posting of outrageous messages to generate
numerous responses, is also not allowed. Mailbombing, the
sending of multiple messages without significant new content
to the same user and/or subscribing someone else to a
mailing list without that person's permission, cross-posting
articles to an excessive number of newsgroups, or attempting
without authorization to enter into a secured computer
system is strictly forbidden. postboxonline.com reserves the
right to determine what constitutes abuse of this policy.
Clients whose accounts are found in violation of this policy
may, at the discretion of postboxonline.com, have their
account(s) terminated without notice. Sites closed for
violations of this policy will not be reinstated under any
circumstance.
Copyrighted
Materials
It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that all
information within their account is their own work. Due to

distribute freeware software programs unless the programs
are their own work. Clients agree to indemnify
postboxonline.com of any possible litigation involving
trademark or copyrighted materials.
Client agrees not to modify any copyright notices in
features (Perl programs, etc.) provided by postboxonline.com.

effect on the performance of the webserver. Client agrees to
accept responsibility for programs executed under his/her
account, regardless of who authored the program. The use of
cgi or html chat scripts or pages is strictly prohibited.
