Is there any list of those UAs or UA parts available? I had this problem some time ago with my bot which used a custom UA string and got access denied, so I changed its UA to Firefox as I had no nerves to track down WHICH part of the UA triggered the filter.

Perhaps they were blocking *your* bot? Faking your user agent to match a browser make sysadmins assume bad faith...
No, as the bot was not active before (and I'm pretty sure the UA also).
