use another site's mail server to relay mail without the express permission of the site
owner.

Posting the same or similar message to one or more newsgroups (excessive
cross-posting or multiple-posting, also known as "SPAM") is expressly prohibited.
INDIRECT OR ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS OF THE POLICY, AND ACTUAL
OR ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS BY A THIRD PARTY ON BEHALF OF A TIME-SPACE

VIOLATIONS OF THE POLICY BY SUCH CUSTOMER OR END USER.
For Example:
If you are hosting a bulk email site on time-space servers and you use another ISP to SPAM
from in order to reference your time-space site by IP address or domain name, you are violating
time-space policy and possibly the law.
If you have been granted telnet access to time-space servers, multiple telnet log-ons are strictly
prohibited and you must come from a valid IP address. Forgery is against the law.
Any type of denial of service attack from valid or invalid addresses is a violation of time-space
security policy and against the law.
If you have been granted password privileges for FTP or telnet, sharing your password
with an unauthorized user or third party is strictly prohibited.
