Surely, they already know who is running servers...or they could
if they wanted to.  I wouldn't be telling them anything they don't
already know.  And yes, I've read the agreement.

Note: They have qualified this with "high-bandwidth".  If you're
not using a lot of bandwidth then, by their own definition, you have
not broken the agreement.  I suspect that is exactly why they worded
it that way.  They sell bandwidth...and they do it at a fixed-price.
Conserving bandwidth is all they really care about (and maybe irate
mothers complaining that their kids are getting dirty spam).
