Teradex Mapper violating robots.txt

in fact, they never bothered to check

[Finder]

Teradex Mapper has never looked at my robots file and only ever tried to take an old DMOZ listed page. About a week ago I added that directory to my robots file and Teradex just tried a peek at it.

I emailed the contact address and received an auto-reply that wanted me to click on a link and manually type in a password of sorts in order to verify my email address. Almost as if the contact addy is white-listed.

Needless to say, it's far more satisfying to add them to my httpd.conf.
