Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Morten (ximman) Assigned to: Tim Ringenbach (marv_sf) Summary: Your contact is using windows live... Initial Comment: Every time gaim starts, i get the following message: "Yahoo! system message for <my name>: Your contact is using windows live (MSN) messenger, and wants to add you to his or her address list. to start sharing instant messages, you'll first need to get the latest Yahoo! messenger with voice at http://messenger.yahoo.com/download.php"; I have no intention of installin yahoo messenger, as the only feature i want to use is email notification for my yahoo mail.. I have no contacts in my contact list, and my privacy setting for Y!M is "Block all" How do i permanently remove this annoying message? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Megan Schneider (ciran) Date: 2007-02-16 12:25 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=801517 Originator: NO Has duplicate 1646795; thus still present.

Did anyone tried other alternate clients to see if this is happening to them too? I think that maybe somehow we could get some hints from the other OSS IM projects...I've tried in gyachi and enabling spam protection filters it. in gaim it doesn't work majeru ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Peter Valdemar Mørch (pmorch) Date: 2006-11-13 07:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=740837 Hi there, I'm also seeing this. I only started noticing it about a week ago. I've just downloaded and installed the new gaim-2.0.0beta5-no-gtk.exe and the problem is still present with this release. It happens every single time I enable my Yahoo! account. A dialog pops up with this info. Also, when I left my Gaim running over the weekend, I had about 20 of such dialogs open monday morning. I'm pretty sure I don't have that many friends trying to add me. :D Spammers, maybe! Tried: Windows XP / Gaim 2.0.0 beta5 and 2.0.0 beta 3.1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: rosc2112 (rosc2112) Date: 2006-10-24 14:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1570636 I'm experiencing the same problem. Yahoo themselves have NO solution ;< I don't even know who the spammer is that's trying to add me and there is no way to block or ignore this constant annoyance in gaim 1.5.0. I am not able to even compile the beta version of GAIM so I hope any fix for this will be backported to the stable version of gaim <sigh> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Morten (ximman) Date: 2006-09-23 18:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1583259 Thanks 4 the quick reply ^_^ Guess i'll just have to hunt down whoever is trying to add me... Shame that the message gives me no hint whatsoever as to who is adding me :S Anyways, 'tis but a minor annoyance... And; thanks you to the entire gaim team for bringing us, the community, a great piece of software - Looking forward to the next version! ^_^ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Date: 2006-09-23 17:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=325843 It seems like the yahoo servers are annoyingly doing this whenever someone using the newest version of MSN messenger (which can talk to people on Yahoo) tries to add you. Right now, there isn't much you can do - I believe that this shouldn't be a problem with the next gaim release. (Marv - is this correct?) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100235&aid=1564119&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
