Unusual Googlebot Sign-up
« on: September 05, 2006, 01:31:59 pm »
firstly may I complement you on a superb program.  8)

About 2 weeks ago I started getting re-subscriptions from customers that had already subscriber and several that had un-subscribed, followed by re-initiation of messages i.e. Follow-up message 1 was sent.

I have (rightly or wrongly) been using a non publicised gmail account for listmail to send sign-up and dailymail reports to which so far has been completely spam free.
If I post the mail details you may see what Is concerning me.

A new user has signed up to your list: Special Offers

Their information is as follows:

***************
Email: customer_name@ISP.com
First Name: Customer
Last Name: Name

Example Field:

IP Address: 66.249.72.210 (crawl-66-249-72-210.googlebot.com)
Ref. URL: http://www.gymratz.co.uk/commercial-gym-equipment/

Unique ID: aab3655
****************

Obviously the googlebot is not the customers I.P. address. This is still happening and has been going on for at least 2 or 3 weeks now.

I have an opt-in on initial sign-up mail.
Is this anything to be concerned about?

Cheers
Pete

I am running version 1.85 and have just noticed on a later release there is a "noindex,nofollow"  on 1.87
Would this be my solution Dean?

Cheers
Pete

Hi Pete,

This request got lost in the mix - are you still having troubles with this?
