Howdy,

Was this bot looking for formmail stuff? I had this crap also about a week before the latest virus SOBIG hit. They were snooping around looking to exploit formmail. It's from the RIPE network in Amsterdam.

NO, this was another one. I got the formmail-bot, too.

But this one crawled +2000 pages including my recipedatabase.

I'd block it. A crawler running from an ISP without any contact details etc is most definately something to block.
Seeing the name of the thing I don't even go into speculating about the purpose of this spidering.
There are many many guys out there who try to do the Kelkoo ;)
