You may not run a server in connection with the Service, nor may you

uses include, but are not limited to, running servers for mail, http,
ftp, irc, wifi, and dhcp, and multi-user interactive forums. "

Apparently they think otherwise. In running the mail server, I provide
mail service to myself. They provide me with POP3 and SMTP mail -- they
want me to use them.
