I was just thinking about this neat new feature, and realized if we all install it, then we may very well flood the abuse mailbox with emails. Since these emails will all have the same format (but different source addresses) a spam filter might very well throw them all away. Perhaps we should ask Phil if he would be willing to install this addon to the sync server, so that just one email goes out ? On the other hand, if the mails make it through spam, having more emails might get a network admin to action faster.
