I've nmapped a colleague just because he asked me to. Twice in fact: the first time the results were exactly what he didn't want, so I repeated after he'd fixed it.
What I mean if they get a complaint they will mail postmaster and suspend the account in 30 minutes if they don't get an acceptable answer. I really don't want to fiddling around wondering why the Internet connection is down to call Demon and get told I've been suspended because one of Theo's underlings picked up something suspicious and reported it to security@xxxxxxxxx If you can demonstrate quickly you have permission they are very good about such things, but obviously they prefer not to be bothered.
If you can break my webserver (other than by a DoS attack - which would definitely not be appreciated), then I'd like to know before some blackhat finds it. Feel free to probe it, provided you let me know if you come across anything that appears unintended.
And on the other hand a nice formal approach helps prevent me breaking things when no one is around to fix them ;) -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
