Of course, you have to go digging through the database to look at the logs, but once you have that reason, you should be able to feed that back to IOError and get him to do an update pretty quickly. I would be really interested to know what it complained about. I admit that I've wondered how much BB overblocks... simply because tuning "signature-matching" tools like this can be really tricky. There are a LOT of user agents out there. :) If you figure it out, let me know. BB >= 1.2 puts a “reason” in its log entry for every refusal.
