 I get requests for authorization but pidgin does not allow one to see what
 service the request is coming from...if one uses multiple services (like
 yahoo, msn, google, aim) then I can't be sure which service the request is
 coming from and therefore only have the option of Deny or Authorize
 without checking things out further.

 If I deny, then the potential spammer may be able to verify it's a real
 account, if I Authorize then the same would definitely happen...if I just
 dismiss that message it comes back again later. If I could find out which
 service the request is coming from I could go into privacy and block
 requests from that service and account name.
