#2857: Spam Authorization Requests
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  Chris         |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new           |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  pidgin (gtk)  |    Version:  2.1.1

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 I use the Windows version of Pidgin 2.1.1.  I have always had Pidgin setup
 to "allow only the users on my buddy list" to message me.  Periodically I
 get an authorization request from a spammer, but those are easily denied
 and rare.  The problem is recently I've started getting repeated
 authorization attempts from the same spammer about every hour or two.  It
 has been driving me nuts.  Every time I open up my buddy list his
 authorization request is sitting there.  I have added him to my block
 senders list, but I still get authorization requests from him.  There
 doesn't seem to be any way to block this person -- at least with Pidgin.
 Any advise, or is this a bug?  If it matters, this is happening with my
 Yahoo IM account.

 Also, as a feature request...  it would be nice if when you get an
 authorization request there would also be an option to automatically block
 that person, and the block should include any future authorization
 requests.

 Thanks!
