libpurple certainly allows you to send messages to people who are not on
the accounts buddy list.

You will need to make sure that your buddies have you on their buddy
lists/authorized lists because some protocols block messages from people
that aren't. I'm unsure if any protocols block messages from people that
don't have you on their lists, but I would doubt it.
