#6937: Bot Sentury allows windows to be opened when originating MSN address is
offline

 Version:  2.5.1  |    Keywords:         
------------------+---------------------------------------------------------
 When set to block spam bots, the Bot Sentury plugin does not stop a new
 window from opening if the originating address is set to offline.

 For example, when a spam message is sent from a bot, that bot quickly sets
 its status to offline, before bot sentury has a chance to reply with the
 challenge.  This causes a window to open with the text similar to "The
 message could not be delivered because [bot address] is offline".

 Solution: add an option to bot sentry that simply does not open windows
 form accounts not added in the buddy list.  It would ignore all messages
 coming from any account not in the buddy account and not send a challenge.

 Emptying the fields "Question" and "Answer" in the configuration does not
 seem to work.
