What you say about the messages is correct. Please bear in mind though that we only actively police this policy if we see that you are causing system resource problems. We aren’t just going to shut you down once you hit 1,001 emails per 24 hours.

I think it is also worthwhile pointing out that I have never seen the type of situation you describe. Rochen host the official Joomla forums and website and although they are hosted on a Managed Dedicated Server with us, we still don’t see a huge volume of email traffic.

I have also never seen any website hosted on one of our shared servers pushing 10,000 messages within a 24 hour period.
