Wordfence blocking MSN bot

    I have started getting the occasional message that Wordfence has blocked an MSN bot IP because it has ‘Exceeded the maximum number of page not found errors per minute for humans’… I could obviously experiment with increasing that number, but why is it being mis-identified as a human? Anyone else had this? Is this a classic ‘Microsoft not following standards/protocols’ or what?

    Incidentally, the IP is 65.55.213.32 and I’ve got the Page Not Found Errors for Humans set to 30 per minute (1 every 2 seconds) which seems reasonable.
