    Maybe a Spammer

    Hi , i think i have a spammer in my servers, he have uploaded a cgi script that uses send mail, and all the sites he is linking to are suspended cause of spam... no spam has been made yet, but i dont know if i should suspend the account now, or wait till i am sure that he his spamming from my server....
    Any opinions?

    I would suspend account now and send him an email explaining why you suspended him and what he has to do to become unsuspended. If he is a spammer you probably won't hear from him, if he isn't he will work with you to make it right.

    If he hasn't broken any of the terms in your TOS I don't see how you can justify suspending the account.

    This is part of our TOS, so i think i can suspend the account right now correct?

    How has he violated this? Unless this person actually attempts to send spam I don't see a violation.
    You can't convict someone for something you think they may do.

    Do you have something in your TOS that says you have the right to cancel an account at any time for any reason?
