Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.1) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: GCC 3.2.2 OS: Linux When you add a user to your list in Yahoo, it sends a request to that user asking if they will allow you to add them. Kopete automatically adds everyone who messages you, whether it was a bot, someone randomly IMing everyone or someone you actually wanted to talk to, and therefore requests authorization from everyone. It really should not do this. If it must add everyone who IM's you to a temp group, it should be an internal function, not adding the person to the Yahoo buddy list, and therefore requesting authorization to add the person.
i happen to like this behavior, but could see why it would be undesireable.
Well I don't know if its just me attracting a lot of people I don't want to talk to, but I feel that the behavior of the Yahoo Messenger client, where any one can message you, but you choose who to add. I like the Temporary Buddy group for some things, but then again, it never shows anyone online there till you add them to a permanent group.
ok, so if they're temporary, you just don't want them added to your server-side list. I can do this, no problem, but I have no way to tell if they're online or not, so they'll always show as offline.
They always show up as offline here anyway.
