Pixel reserves the right to deny mail delivery from any servers hosted on our network
if they are believed to be involved in SPAM or SPIM activities. This includes spam
support services such as DNS or spam vertised web sites. Our abuse department will
locate abusive servers based on public blacklist monitors, abuse reporting from
external networks, and other means. If our abuse department receives a report or
otherwise becomes aware of abuse-related activities active on our network, we will
identify the server the abuse was initially sent from (via IP and in some cases
by domain) and create a ticket on behalf of the user who occupies the server with
information regarding the abuse such as logs describing the abuse and an explanation
of what abuse took place.
The following actions will be taken on a case-by- case basis:
An abuse ticket serves as notification that our abuse department has received reports of abuse originating from the server. We require a Client response to ALL abuse tickets within 48 hours of the ticket being opened. Typically no service will be suspended or filtered within the first 48 hours of an abuse ticket being opened. If a response is not received within 48 hours, or the server is determined to be abusive (or likely to be abusive in the case of spam blacklistings) after the ticket is opened, our abuse technicians may filter or disable ports or IPs assigned to the server temporarily to prevent further abuse until a response is received.
If a response has not been received to an abuse ticket within 7 days of being opened, the server is eligible for suspension and may be completely disabled until we receive a response.
Habitual neglect of abuse occurring on a Client's server may lead to service termination or longer-term port filters as some blacklistings can take several weeks to time out or be removed.Pixel reserves the right to refuse services to any Client whose account(s) have been fined or terminated for abuse–related activities.Compromised servers issued abuse notifications: If our abuse department suspects that abuse reports associated with a Client‚s server are a result of the server's security being compromised, our abuse department will offer the following options:
At the discretion of our abuse department, we will typically offer the ability to log in to the server and remedy the security compromise while leaving the abusive traffic filtered.
Offer an Operating System reinstallation, setting the configuration back to the original state it was provisioned in.
If Operating System reinstallation is not accepted as an option, Pixel may offer to manually retrieve/repair the files on the server, at a fee to be assessed and paid prior to any work being done.
Habitual security compromises that result in abusive traffic being transmitted or received from the server may result in service termination.If a Client wishes to dispute any abuse reports, or any fine assessed in connection with abuse reports or blacklistings, the Client must provide Pixel with an explanation via ticketing system within 10 days of the abuse ticket being opened.
