Version: 0.11.1 (using KDE 3.5.1-1.5.fc3.kde, Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg)) Compiler: gcc version 3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3 As SPAM, which I receive via my ICQ account, increased in the last weeks, I looked for an ICQ Block List, but I did not find it. Is there a posibility to add an ICQ Block list? An easy way to block senders whould be to add a "Block user" button in the pop up window which appears if a user wrote a message. Ideally, this button should only appear, if the user is not on kopetes contact list. Thank you for your great work!
The spam I get never comes from the same ICQ number. I'd prefer an "allow only messages from people on my contact list" option. Back when I was on Gaim, I asked and they said "The official client doesn't offer that, so we won't because it could confuse people". Hopefully you guys will be more sensible about this.
Since almost all spam takes the form of messages containing URLs from random accounts, I think a more sensible solution might be to block all messages containing URLs from people not on one's contact list, unless the user actually has a chat window open with that person.

Assuming it works as advertised, the Privacy plugin will meet my needs here. For people who don't want to use whitelisting, I think all that needs to be done to close this bug is to add regex support to the Privacy plugin's message content blacklist option and to make sure it works in concert with the "users not on my contact list" nick whitelisting as an AND filter rather than an OR filter. ...though in such a case, it'd probably be a good idea to include a URL-matching regex as the default text for that field so users just need to check the checkbox if that's what they want.
