CRAWLERS_DETECTION.CONF(5)

💖 CRAWLERS_DETECTION.CONF(5) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about crawlers_detection.conf — yes that's the manual page, section 5, and yes it's as niche as it sounds but we're gonna make it make sense 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

crawlers_detection.conf — the user agents that get ✨excluded✨ from session management, no cap

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically, crawlers_detection.conf is the file where you define which user agents get excluded from session management by the Sympa web interface. Like, bots and crawlers, you're not getting a session, bestie, this is not your moment 💅

TBD.

fr fr, that's literally all the description says. "TBD." That's it. The authors said "we'll finish this later" and honestly? iconic. We respect the honesty. 🙈

🎀 FILES 🎀

• $DEFAULTDIR/crawlers_detection.conf — this is the distribution default, and listen to me carefully: this file should not be edited. Like, hands off. Do not touch. It's giving "look but don't touch" energy 🚫
• $SYSCONFDIR/<robot name>/crawlers_detection.conf — this one is the configuration file for each robot. One per robot, each robot gets their own, main character energy for every single robot 👑
