Don't Abuse Your E-Mail Privileges - Guidelines on the use of e-mail are not based on etiquette alone. E-mail sent with the intent of disrupting communication or other system services is not allowed. The proliferation of unsolicited commercial e-mail (also known as UCE or "spam"), virus warnings, urban legends and other electronic chain letters is abusive to the mail system and the network. These types of messages waste valuable computing resources, and may be considered harassing. You may lose your network privileges by creating or forwarding these messages.
