Yikes, that shouldn't be happening at all for anything other than well-known spambot user agents. I'll look into the stats on how often this is coming up. I may follow up with you for some quick debugging help. Thanks.

It's very annoying! Spambot detected. Hi, our server has decided that you are, in fact, not a human being, but rather a sinister computer program designed to scoop up email addresses and bombard them with unsolicited advertisements. Since we find that kind of conduct reprehensible, we have decided to deny you access to our site. If we made a mistake, and you really are a human being, we apologize profusely. It just happens that your browser looks VERY similar to a known spambot. Try using a different browser and you should have no problem connecting to the site. Have a good day (and die, spambots, die) _______________________________________________ Discussion list for The Mail Archive [email protected] http://jab.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gossip _______________________________________________ Discussion list for The Mail Archive [email protected] http://jab.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gossip
