But when the HTTP server is just Imail's .cgi which allows no access
to a robots.txt file, how to tell these spiders to stop harassing
Imail's web server, which is already prone to overloading with
legitimate work? That's a good one, huh?
hey, could that be why so many different versions of Imail have
recently been having an epidemic of iwebmsg overloads?
Maybe this is the "fall sweeps" season? vbg
Iwebmsging getting spidered to death after months of total quiescence
and no software changes??
Hey, everybody with iwebmsging pb's:
go search your Imail www log files for "robots".
If you have grep around:
grep <filename robots -ci
... to count how many log lines contain "robots".
Repeat for the daily logs where you've had iwebmsg pb's.
