I think this has been in the FAQ for years ,and maybe even in the
default config. Just make your targetstring less generic. End of story.

>    disable checking of those ports on BOPM. This does not have positive
>    results, as BOPM has found several actual proxies on port 8000.  Is there
>    a way to solve this problem, with a better fix, as I don't think open
>    proxys reply with IRC server responses.  :)
