Just spotted a bot that we've not come across before.
The full User Agent string is:
hoge (co2h2onacl@gmail.com)
[Mods, this is the actual string as found in our logs - if inappropriate in any way, kindly do the needful, as required]
Does anyone know what's this?
We'll also dig more and post findings here.

A few basic Qs, please...
- From whence did it come? (This forum's Charter link, above, shows how to best indicate individual bot-running Hosts or IPs.)
- Did it read robots.txt?
- Did it heed robots.txt?
This bot's new to me but Bots vs Browsers saw it in June: [botsvsbrowsers.com...]
FWIW: The "co2 h2o nacl" bot-maker must be into chemistry, too: CO2 = Carbon Dioxide; H2O = Water; NaCl = Sodium Chloride (salt).

My bad, Pfui :-)
Came from 218.213.131.43 (Hong Kong - APNIC)
robots.txt - no read, so no heed ;-)
Yes, the 'chemistry' is quite interesting.
Will keep a watch and post further findings.
