A name change but still "v0.01a" version; still crawling from Germany:

93.159.111.105
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; suggybot v0.01a, http://blog.suggy.com/was-ist-suggy/suggy-webcrawler/)

robots.txt? Yes

Another UA from PHP for the IP [projecthoneypot.org...] and here (07-2010) [webmasterworld.com...] --

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; sgbot v0.01a, [e-mail])

I had the range 93.159.96/19 as DSL but looking at a few IPs in the range for open ports it now looks more like servers or ill-used statics. Also got two blocked bots in the 111/24 range. Now blocked.

I am always very suspicious of email addresses at gmail, hotmail, yahoo etc. They crop up far too frequently, even in DNS reports. I tend to look more closely at reasons for blocking if registrations / abuse reports include public email addresses.

You found an e-mail address? I only got as far as

That's the literal text, followed by "Bookmark It" and then a string of icons all suggesting "suggy empfehlen!" * and finally, in English,

Well, never mind then.


* My fingers typed "entfehlen" which is not actually a word, but is probably closer to what Pfui had in mind.

Lucy,

If you read the last line of the OP, you'll see a GMail address. That is what dstiles was referring to ;)

Oops.

Not that there's much to choose among e-mail addresses. Can't think offhand of any roboticist who has ever responded to e-mail inquiries.
