Nothing, that I know of, in ANY personal/home-use IP contract would
prevent that.  HOWEVER, your means of doing such a task need to be
"normal", not as a business or commercial entity which might send bulk
mail to 30+ people through their own mailserver.   The key word here is
"server", and MOST personal/home-use contracts expressly prohibit them.

The fine print is there for a reason... ignorance is no excuse
(especially if you have a high school, or higher, education).
