> If my understanding of the law is correct, spamming is legal, albeit immoral. If I were the hosting company, and I had a paying customer that is conducting legal business on my network, on what grounds can I evict them? Hosting companies can kick customers off for basically any reason they want to. High-end hosting companies will absolutely kick a customer off if the customer’s activities result in spam blacklisting. When I first signed with Rackspace, it took almost a week to negotiate their AUP (acceptable use policy). They were basically unwilling to give us any solid assurances about account suspension. They gave themselves enormous room to determine what was acceptable behavior on our part. If you haven’t carefully read your host’s AUP, it might be enlightening. If your host doesn’t have an AUP, or doesn’t enforce it, then yeah maybe that is not the best neighborhood.
