Sending *unsolicited* automatic reports to *multiple* mailing lists is considered bad netiquette.
And forwarding private email conversation to public mailinglists without asking correspondees permission is not considered bad netiquette? Double standards?
In your case even more so since similar and better defined reports are available on demand from more than one source.
Obviously those have NOT lead to getting problems fixed. I was SHOCKED about the ugly state of those vital infrastructure zones when I did the first survey.
It would have been more acceptable to say something like: "Hey, I have made this useful report. What do you think about it? If you are interested you can subscribe to regular reports here."
That makes it easy to ignore the problems, eh? See my other mail where I compare with the CIDR report.
These days netiquette is violated so frequently that most people do not even care to point things out to violators; they just ignore messages from people who do not behave socially. Procmail is an easy tool.
Feel free to procmail me away.
