No Spam Policy (Last Updated: 8 April 2007) 
FormosaHost strictly prohibits Spamming. One of the most serious abuses is using your web hosting 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 and Acceptable Use Policy, and will result in termination of web hosting services.
1. Inappropriate E-mail Activities
1.1. Commercial e-mail
Defined as sending unsolicited commercial e-mails. This is prohibited. You are not permitted to use your FormosaHost account or the e-mail alias/account of your Virtual Server to send unsolicited commercial e-mail. Using an e-mail address hosted anywhere on FormosaHost servers to collect responses from unsolicited commercial e-mail is prohibited. This includes using a throwaway, free e-mail account to promote your FormosaHost account and redirects for the same account.
1.2. Mail Bombing
Defined as sending large volumes of unsolicited e-mail to individuals from your FormosaHost account. This is strictly prohibited.
1.3. 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.
2. Inappropriate use of Mailing Lists
Purchased Mailing Lists: Mass mailing to purchased mailing lists is not allowed. We allow only opt-in mailing lists. To comply with our no-Spam policy, the recipients on your mailing list must have specifically requested (subscribed) to receive mail from you on this topic. Purchased or inherited lists are, by definition, NOT opt-in. Similarly; you could not start a list about horses and then post to it about boats. Opt-in list mailings must include instructions to unsubscribe (opt-out) in every message.
3. Inappropriate Newsgroup Activities
3.1. Newsgroup Spamming
This Spam is 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 Sunrise Web Hosting based mail facilities to Spam the newsgroups.
3.2. 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 and considered Spam in the vast majority of newsgroups.
FormosaHost takes a very dim view of Spam. It is one of the most annoying things encountered on the Internet. Any FormosaHost client found to be Spamming will have his/her web hosting account terminated immediately - no questions asked (FormosaHost will investigate a report thoroughly before terminating any account). There is no warning or second chance. If we find that you have violated our Acceptable Usage Policy, we will report you and the incident to the proper local, state and federal authorities and will assist any prosecutor to the best of our abilities.
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 who does the Spamming. If you know of any FormosaHost client that is or might be violating this policy, please send a message or, if possible, forward the Spam in full (including headers) to us by contacting us
By paying for our hosting service, you agree to the terms outlined in this document.
