I'm going to talk with Michael (error10) about this, and see if he has any ideas.

Until there is a solution for 'Required header 'Accept' missing', is there a way to not block users for this reason? Its blocking about 50 valid users every 24 hours. I have no doubt that its caused by registered members with security software. I do not want to block these real users. Talking to all these users or whitelisting all their IPs is not possible.

In the logs of my limited testing these have been 100% real users.

I would be highly surprised if anyone would be able to convince paypal about anything. I have whitelisted the script.

New feature request:
Alert staff if registered member performs SQL injection or other attacks

One thing that I find missing in this addon is a way to feed bad bot data to the blacklist. Please consider to add such functionality. Either as part of this addon or as Projecthoneypot integration. Added to tracker: Feed data to blacklist
