You shouldn't do this. I suppose these messages are sent by the complete
new and even better eserver (successor of dserver). Lugdunum wrote a new
hell of a server from scratch (16.40). If you blacklist these servers,
you're quite stupid (Razorback 254k Clients, Probenprinz 200k Clients,
..).

I think someone should hotfix the situation and release a 2.5-4 next to
the devel version. Furthermore I think this message is caused by this:

- keepalive pings are most of the time piggybacked into other services
messages: lower TCP bandwidth (using less IP packets)
- Extension of the UDP protocol to send many Search results per packet.
- Extension of the UDP protocol to allow clients to ask sources for many
MD4 hashes at once, instead of one UDP packet for each MD4. (should reduce
UDP traffic by a 2 or 3 factor)
- Tracking of too old emule versions.

You can read more here: http://lugdunum2k.free.fr/kiten.html

Old clients do not, but are still tolerated (thats why you still receive
results).
Changing the emule version within mldonkey would bypass and not fix the
problem. Someone should add these capable udp messages to MLdonkey and the
problem is gone.

(I'm a fan of Lugdunums work for the community)
