Google is sorry

Someone pointed out an error with my mail server. I wanted to check out what's up, but for "mail error: H3.1".

We're sorry...

... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now.

We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the meantime, if you suspect that your computer or network has been infected, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to make sure that your systems are free of viruses and other spurious software.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google.

I'm disappointed. For all the data-mining Google could do, you'd think they'd know the there's no operating sytem nor user behind this IP address who is very likely to get infected with malware.
