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 @saudisoftech.com, or any domain
name hosted with Saudi Softech Services 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 Saudi Softech
Services but the mail message makes mention
of a website hosted with Saudi Softech Services.
Saudi Softech Services 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,
Saudi Softech Services requests that mailing lists
be sent during non-peak hours, specifically
between the hours of 1:00 am and 5:00 am, Central
Time (U.S.A). Saudi Softech Services reserves the
right to terminate a client's mailing program,
whether provided by Saudi Softech Services or not,
immediately and without notification to client
if said list causes a problem with the e-mail
services of other clients. Saudi Softech Services
also reserves the right to forbid a client from
utilizing any mail-sending program that jeopardizes
the mail services of other clients.
Due to the consumption of system resources
and overloading of the e-mail server, Saudi Softech Services 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. Saudi Softech Services 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 Saudi Softech Services, have their account(s)
terminated without notice and are subject to
a maximum $500 clean-up/disconnection fee.
