    UPDATE: BPS Pro 13+ and BPS 2.0+ versions have a feature called: Setup Wizard AutoFix (AutoWhitelist|AutoSetup|AutoCleanup) that automatically creates plugin and theme whitelist rules and automatically sets up and cleans up caching plugins htaccess code.

    The WordPress Newsletter Plugin uses a wget Cron:  http://docs.tribulant.com/wordpress-mailing-list-plugin/4920
    To fix this issue do the steps below:

    1. Copy the modified code below (wget has been removed/deleted) to this BPS Root Custom Code text box:  CUSTOM CODE BPSQSE BPS QUERY STRING EXPLOITS
    2. Click the Save Root Custom Code button.
    3. Go to the BPS Setup Wizard page and run the Wizard. For BPS Pro run both the Pre-Installation Wizard and Setup Wizard.

    # BEGIN BPSQSE BPS QUERY STRING EXPLOITS
    # The libwww-perl User Agent is forbidden - Many bad bots use libwww-perl modules, but some good bots use it too.
    # Good sites such as W3C use it for their W3C-LinkChecker. 
    # Use BPS Custom Code to add or remove user agents temporarily or permanently from the 
    # User Agent filters directly below or to modify/edit/change any of the other security code rules below.
