Not hard really ;D The only hard part is finding me time to do
so!!!! I've got a lot of other privacy related issues I need to work
on too. I don't know if you know this, but PyICQ sends your web
presence out unless you disable it. That is a key target for getting
you spammed I found, so you might want to disable that! (it's an
option in the latest release)

Hello,
I already posted about this matter a few months ago, but i still
have the same problem:
I'm getting spam on ICQ from contacts who are not in my contact
list. I followed the advice that was given to me last time and used
the official ICQ client to set my privacy options to
- "Only accept message from users on my contact list"
- "Do not accept world wide page messages"
- "Do not accept Email Express Messages"
- "My authorisation is required before users add my to their
contact list"
- I didn't check "Allow others to view my status on the web"
and i still get spammed when connected using pyICQt (which is 99%
of the time) and it started when i first switched my ICQ
communication to jabber. That's why i suspect that pyICQt is
somehow involved in this story even though I think those privacy
features are supposed to be handled by ICQ's servers?
How hard would it be to either:
- set the default to only accept messages from the contact list and
have pyICQt discard messages that doesn't meet that restriction
- fetch preferences from ICQ server and do the same
Anyway thanks for those great transports!
