This can be alarming seeing your email in the log? WTF where did they get that.
 
 
Very interesting though, never noticed but this one was where a hyperlink on my webpage was lifted and then an attempt made to read this page.
 
 
The read of the webpage ...
 
89.39.200.208 - - [10/Feb/2011:17:10:35 +0000] "GET
 
 / HTTP/1.1" 200 3589
 
 
Now an attempted read of the hyper link
 
89.39.200.208 - - [10/Feb/2011:17:10:41 +0000] "GET /mad4764@tiscali.co.uk HTTP/1.1" 404 219
 
 
Was this a bot? Note the hyperlink is actually an email address embedded in the page for a program that if somebody uses can mail me any bug etc. This bot though did not like the taste of my email, so other hyperlinks were not tested. I put my email link at the top of the page, clear as day, reject did not process the rest. *Romania* |

| There is nothing alarming. it just causes a 404 (file not found) error. Nothing to worry about. |
