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. Malicious intent to impede another person's use
of electronic mail services or news will result in the immediate termination of the
offending account.
