b.    INODES.

The use of more than two hundred and fifty
thousand (250,000) inodes on any shared or reseller account may result in a
warning, and if no action is taken to reduce the excessive use of inodes, your
account may be suspended. If an account exceeds one hundred thousand (100,000)
inodes it will be automatically removed from our backup system to avoid
over-usage, however, databases will still be backed up as a courtesy in our
sole discretion. Every file (i.e. a webpage, image file, email, etc.) on your
account uses up one (1) inode.

User accounts that constantly create and
delete large numbers of files on a regular basis, have hundreds of thousands of
files, or cause file system damage may be flagged for review and/or suspension.
The primary cause of excessive inodes is typically due to Users leaving their
catchall address enabled, but never checking their primary account mailbox.
Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build up, eventually pushing
the account past an acceptable amount of inodes. To disable your default
mailbox, login to cPanel and choose “Mail", then “Default
Address", “Set Default Address", and then type in: “:fail:
No such user here".

D.       Zero Tolerance
Spam Policy

a.    We take a zero tolerance stance against the
sending of unsolicited e-mail, bulk emailing, and spam. “Safe lists,"
purchased lists, and selling of lists will be treated as spam. We may terminate
the account of any User who sends out spam with or without notice. Please
read https://www.meadespcshop.com/mailpolicy for our generalized mail policy. Please
read https://www.meadespcshop.com/dedicated-mailpolicy for our dedicated server mail policy.

may not be hosted on our servers. This provision includes, but is not limited
to, spam sent via fax, phone, postal mail, email, instant messaging, or
usenet/newsgroups. No organization or entity listed in the ROKSO may be hosted on
our servers. Any User account which results in our IP space being blacklisted
will be immediately suspended and/or terminated.
