If you are a relay operator and using nginx filtering out empty http_user_agent would helped for the time being. b4 thos guy changed it

put this in nginx's server scope

```

server {

server_name my.cool.site;

if ($http_user_agent = "" ) { return 403; }

}

```

This is an overreaction that breaks many other clients. No sane relay operator should do this.

Instead, consider auth requirements, allow losts, throttling and maybe server side context filters
