 Replying to [comment:1 deryni]:
 > For the protocols that support such a privacy feature pidgin supports
 that via the Tools->Privacy dialog. MSN notably does not support that
 option and only supports 'allow below' and 'block below'. But for MSN
 'allow below' tends to be roughly equivalent to 'allow only buddy list'
 because authorizing people to add you adds them to your privacy list (last
 I knew at least).

 > Support for this for protocols that don't support it, or in any more
 general way, is best done via a plugin.

 this doesn't work for me. People not on my contact list can still contact
 me in MSN while the privacy setting for MSN is set to not allow anyone not
 on my buddy list to contact me.
