Virtuous Host does not allow any hosting account to give out free or paid email hosting on a public level. Reseller accounts are exempt from this, however spam guidelines still apply. It is up to the reseller to monitor and control outgoing junk email/spam.

On some occasions, we allow heavy usage depending on the situation. However, additional fees may apply.
