Spambot detected.

Hi, your web browser has triggered our spambot detection mechanism. A spambot is a computer program designed to scoop up e-mail addresses and bombard them with unsolicited advertisements.

If we made a mistake, and you really are a human being, we apologize profusely. It just happens that your browser looks VERY similar to a known spambot. Please try using a different browser and you should have no problem connecting to the site.

Have a good day (and die, spambots, die) ...from a referral to a badspammer-001.html URL apparently at sources.redhat.com...? My user-agent string appears to be: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511" ...according to what I get when I hit my own apache-2 webserver. Is this enough information for someone to fix this issue, or would it help if I did a tcpdump of the connection?
