SPAM – Octopushostingnetwork.com has zero tolerance for UBE/UCE (unsolicited bulk email/unsolicited commercial email). This policy protects our customers as well as the internet community from the negative effects of “spam” related activity. We defines UBE/UCE as unsolicited broadcast or commercial email that is sent to addresses that do not affirmatively and verifiably request such material from that specific sender. We defines spam as any type of unsolicited email used for any purpose. Any unsolicited e-mail being sent will result in suspension or termination of the offending account. We take a zero tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail and other forms of spam.

This includes, but is not limited to:

• Using a non-existent return email address when sending commercial solicitations.
• Mail-bombing (sending numerous messages to the same user).
• Subscribing someone else to a mailing list without that person’s permission.

Email Usage Limits: 
There is a 125 outgoing email hourly limit per domain. This limit is also applied towards MAILING Lists also. If you send over this amount in any hour, most of the e-mails will bounce back with an undeliverable error. If this occurs, it will then take some time for your account to be able to send again so we recommend waiting at least 1 hour after this issue occurs to begin sending email again.
