Comment (by salinasv):

 Think about this. Block is only about "I don't like to foo can see if I'm
 online or not" works only on the status area. The IM works isolated from
 the status, If you send a message to some guy that is online you open a SB
 connection and send the message, if it's offline you open a Offline
 Message Connection and send the message.

 So, as I understand how this works. you can't prevent foo from talking to
 you (of course you always can don't replay the message).

 The "user is not online" error I can imagine that the official client when
 receiving the IM check if the source are blocked and report a error. I
 don't really know this, I do not use the official client and do not send
 IM to offline (potentially blocked me) contacts. Maybe I should try this
 one.
