 The reply bot thing? Is it an attack or a slight nuisance? I've not blocked it yet even. But I assume it's quite easy no? 
 Its not just about block it and it's gone. It's massively flooding relays. I'm running a cache service for the Dvms that gets spammed and takes much longer as it needs to handle this bs.

 Surely this is a basic dos attack that was meant to be blocked by spam filters on relays?
