I fail to see how decing to examine or reject a message, just because of
client-managed user-agent string, would provide any kind of security
benefit. You'd better validate the content of the message against a
grammar, to check what is said, rather than blindy believe the client
claiming who he is.

Or find another excuse than 'security'.
