LEGAL
A short list of conduct that is incompatible with membership.
LAST UPDATED · JANUARY 14, 2026
PAYTONMAIL is a service for private correspondence. Some uses are inconsistent with that purpose.
The list below is not exhaustive. It is a statement of the conduct we will not host, even from members in good standing.
Members may not use PAYTONMAIL to send unsolicited commercial or bulk mail. The service exists to protect deliverability for everyone on it, and that posture is incompatible with senders who treat the address book as a marketing list.
Members may not use PAYTONMAIL to harass, threaten, intimidate, or stalk other people. Targeted abuse of identifiable individuals will result in immediate termination.
Members may not store, send, or solicit content that is illegal under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they reside. This includes, without limitation, material that exploits minors, infringes intellectual property, or facilitates violence.
Members may not impersonate other individuals or organisations, attempt to defraud recipients, or use PAYTONMAIL to launder credentials, payments, or identities.
Members may not attempt to compromise the service, probe other members' accounts, or use PAYTONMAIL infrastructure to host malware, command-and-control endpoints, or other adversarial systems.
Where conduct may breach this policy, we will write to you, in private, and ask for an explanation before taking action. Clear cases — exploitation of minors, infrastructure attacks, mass abuse — result in immediate termination without notice.
To report a suspected violation, write to abuse@paytonmail.com.
