Where did you see that? At subdimension's site? This is all
I see:
III. "You agree to pay the parties associated with
subDIMENSION the amount of assessed damages and work incurred
due to your service abuse, or $5 per piece of mail processed
(whichever is higher) for SPAM or unsolicited bulk email that
is transmitted by or otherwise connected to your subDIMENSION
freemail account. "
This is for those who SPAM their members ('members' meaning
you or I), or if you use their service to SPAM.

Things are not so easy, I am afraid, I spent a couple of
hours
investigatint new pop3 services, and did not like what I
found..
If you read carefully the service agreement or however you
may call it, you
often find a paragraph saying you will have to
pay between 10 and 50 dollars for each SPAM message sent OR
RECEIVED
DID YOU GET IT ???: R E C E I V E D
Some of them consider MAILING LISTS are spam
others simply state that if you are suscribe to any mailing
lists, you
better get lost
many more are going out of bussiness or do not offer smtp
service any more, or
had dropped POP3..
another one limits transfers to 500 messages a month...
unless you pay, and
even paying, the limit is 1000
(down with mailing lists)
and so on, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
How can I find something good and not very expensive (I did
not say free,
not even cheap..)???
