There are some cases that can be detected as such bots (eg those that announce themselves in a User-Agent string). But there's no general method to detect them. The 'usual' way of dealing with them is to deny access, or to serve them a different page. IIRC the mod_rewrite page has a recipe for that. If you want to rewrite outgoing contents, you can do that with mod_publisher. Configure the filter, and use setenvif to tell mod_filter to insert it when a bad bot is detected. Note that this requires Apache 2.1 or a patched 2.0. > Though an easy solution: I wish to avoid using images to encode my email > strings. Yes, don't do that. You don't want to deny some of your legitimate human visitors the opportunity to contact you, even if you live in a country where deliberately discriminating against the blind won't put you at risk of a lawsuit. -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
