Definitely. In general I've found that most SysAdmins are pretty
receiptive to being told that one of their users is violating their
acceptable usage policy. They know what it's like to have someone trying
to break into their system and, for the most part, want to prevent their
network from being used against someone else. That's not to say that
everyone will be helpful, but there's little harm in letting someone in
authority on the other end know what's going on. They may even thank you
for it.
