Comment (by pi):

 Replying to [comment:4 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.

 I suggest you to have a go on it. Pidgin against MSN Official Client: they
 behaves differently, as I reported. (Pidgin vs. Windows Live Messenger, to
 be precise).[[BR]]
 See you,[[BR]]
