Sending unsolicited messages containing links to Provider Services, including email addresses, websites, bookmarks, etc., may be deemed participation in prohibited activities even if the messages were sent without directly using the Provider’s mail servers;
1.7. Maintaining connectivity with servers and subnets permanently used for unsolicited mailings; hosting websites, supporting email addresses or DNS servers for domains used to distribute email-address lists and/or offer organization of unsolicited mass mailings and/or advertise programs specifically intended to organize unsolicited mass mailings; and supporting websites advertised through unsolicited mailings where there are grounds to believe that the owners and/or administrators of such websites are involved in organizing such mailings.
