Just noticed thousands of hits on my sites today from the Missigua
Locator spambot - it's a bot that harvests email addresses.

In order to stop it dead, just create a dot htaccess file in the doc
root of your site with this
(you'll need mod_rewrite installed)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Missigua [NC,OR]
RewriteRule ^.* - [F]

This will throw back a 403 access denied error.

hope this is of help to someone.
