Um, folks in these groups will identify me as someone not unsympathetic
to your cause, so please don't assume that I'm part of some terrible conspiracy
when I suggest that this is something of an overreaction on your part.

Judging by the quality of the quotes you've posted, it sounds like you're
afflicted with a single dodgy sysadmin; your first recourse ought to be
to approach the head of your Information Services department, and determine
whether this is the case, and ask for action to be taken against the
individual involved.

If you can get no justice there, then I'd suggest you take the matter up
with the head of your own department, and possibly with the Vice Chancellor's
office at Deakin. If that gets you nowhere, only then would I suggest you 
follow the course you've taken.

If you have already followed this course then of course you ought to scream
long and loud. If not, then I'm afraid that you may have done your 
correspondant's work for them, and seriously blown your net-cred. Don't 
really know what you can do about that - take a holiday for a couple of 
months maybe ...
