Yahoo morgue bot

user agent and/or IP for Yahoo's dead link checker?

[Drew_Black]

Does anyone know the best way to detect Yahoo's morgue bot? I keep getting removed from the index and their support group says it's because my site is down. I find this hard to believe because the stats from my remote monitoring service say we're up more than 99% of the time.

I figure it's got to be something to do with their bot. I'd like to detect it and log any accesses but I haven't been able to identify it yet.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Found this one in logs, it is likely the morgue bot you are trying to identify :

morgue2.corp.yahoo.com - - [02/Jul/2003:16:04:11 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 4418 "-" "Mozilla/4.05 [en]"

Thank you very much. That's what I needed.
