Description dcinege 2003-12-13 22:54:05 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I'm getting sick of spam IM's and would like the following solution to be implemented, which would work similar to TMDA email whitelisting:

When you get an IM from a person not in your buddy list, kopete 'holds' this IM from being displayed, and then replys to the person:

You're not in XXXX's buddy list. To prevent spam please cut and paste the following as your reply, and your IM will be released.

The message ends with a random string. The above message should also be randomized to deter bot parsing. 

Once the person replys with the auth code, the orginal IM is delivered.
