What is Spam?
Spam is unsolicited advertising to those with which the customer has no existing business relationship, posting off-topic advertising in newsgroups, etc. Just like a regular postal mailbox, once an email address has been established, unwanted junk email (spam) almost always appears.
What do I do with Spam?
If and/or when you receive spam mail, please follow the steps below:
Do NOT respond to the spam mail, even if a "remove my name" reply address is present. These "remove" addresses are usually fake; in most cases the sending address is fake as well. Sometimes the "remove" address just acts to collect valid email addresses for future spam mailings.
Report the Spammers. For more information on where/how to report spammers, visit:

What is Great Buy Web Hosting's Policy on Spam?
Great Buy Web Hosting has a ZERO Tolerance policy for spam mail or spammers hosted on our servers or in our network. Any violation of these policies will result in immediate account termination or suspension without prior notification and without any refunds. DON'T DO IT!
What do I do if I receive email that I believe is hosted on one of Great Buy Web Hosting's servers or in the Gerat Buy Web Hosting network?
First, make sure the sender's email is not a spoofed address by checking the headers.
(Spoofing is using a return email address which is not the valid reply address of the sender or sending an email message which does not contain enough information to enable the recipient to identify the party who is really sending the message). To learn how to read the message source/header of an email visit http://spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/19.html .
If you believe a Great Buy Web Hosting customer is in violation of our Hosting Policies, please forward the mail in question, including the headers if at all possible to Abuse. Our Staff will immediately begin an investigation and will take all necessary actions required according to our Hosting Policies, including suspension and if deemed appropriate, termination of the violator's account.
