Verizon's Unsolicited Bulk Email Policy:

Verizon specifically does not authorize the use of its proprietary computers, servers, routers and computer network (the "Verizon Network") to accept, transmit or distribute unsolicited bulk Email sent from the Internet to Verizon subscribers (or to others). It is also a violation of Verizon policy, and the law, to send or cause to be sent to, or through, the Verizon Network Email that makes use of or contains invalid or forged headers, invalid or non-existent domain names or other means of deceptive addressing. Verizon considers such Email to be unlawful and a violation of our policy, and any attempt to send or cause such Email to be sent to, or through, the Verizon Network is unauthorized. Moreover, any Email relayed from a third party's mail servers without the permission of that third party, or any Email that hides or obscures, or attempts to hide or obscure, the source of an Email also constitutes an unauthorized use of the Verizon Network. Email sent or caused to be sent to the Verizon Network that violates your agreement with Verizon is also unauthorized. Nor does Verizon authorize the harvesting or collection of screen names from the Verizon Online service for the purpose of sending unsolicited Email. Any such action also constitutes violation of Verizon policy.

Limitations on Sending Email

• You may send a single Email message to a maximum of 100 recipients in one mailing, not to exceed 500 recipients within a one hour period. All single Emails sent to over 100 addressees will not be delivered. No notice will be given to you in this case.
• If you send Emails to more than 500 recipients within a one hour period, your ability to send ANY Email messages is suspended for 24 hours. You will receive a Notice regarding this action.

Verizon reserves the right to take all legal and technical steps available to prevent unsolicited bulk Email or other unauthorized Email from originating from, entering, utilizing or remaining within the Verizon Network. Such action may include, without limitation, the use of filters or other network devices to scan Email transmitted from or to the Verizon Network, immediate termination of Verizon service, and prosecution of offenders through criminal or civil proceedings. Nothing in this policy shall be construed to grant any right to transmit or send Email to, or through, the Verizon Network, and in no event shall any failure by Verizon to enforce this policy constitute a waiver of Verizon's rights.

Unauthorized use of the Verizon Network in connection with the transmission of unsolicited bulk Email, including the transmission of counterfeit Email, may result in civil and criminal penalties against the sender, including those provided by the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. ? 1030 et seq.); and various state laws, including the Virginia Computer Crimes Act (Va. Code Ann. ? 18.2-152.2 et seq.) (as amended.)
