I am more than slightly annoyed at someone marketing a spambot. Not
surprised (I've been getting junk mail from apparent web robots for quite
some time now) - but definitely annoyed.
Let me make it perfectly clear: I WILL NOT VISIT, WILL NOT BUY FROM, WILL
NOT ASSIST IN GIVING POSITIVE PUBLICITY TO ANY SITE OR PRODUCT THAT SENDS
ME UNSOLICITED EMAIL ABOUT THEIR SITE USING A ROBOT.
Guess it is time to go get and compile the Apache user-agent blocking
module since it doesn't comply with the REP. I hope it has some
identifying string in the mail - so I can add it to my procmail filters as
well.
