Greetings Everyone,

Just a note that I have been seeing alot of Abuse-Admin hits when User Agent: Mediapartners-Google/2.1 crawls my site for advertising compliance. Not sure if it is new to 2.4 but I never seen the bans before upgrading.

My work around was to email google about a list of IP's to add to my protected range so these would stop. Set these IP's in your protected range 66.249.64.1 - 66.249.79.254 to ensure the Agent: Mediapartners-Google/2.1 can crawl your site. The email from google is pasted below.
