Hi all

Spim (Instant Messaging Spam) seams to become an increasing problem in the 
last months.
Nowadays I get about one or two, advertizing messages over ICQ per day. More 
than non spim messages.

The official Win32 Mirabilis client has measures to filter certain content.
Miranda has special chalenge response plugins to filter out bots:

Now with LICQ (well I still use 1.2.7 so I don't know it that changed in 1.3) 
you can only drop messages from unknown uin, and thus preventing other people 
to contact you as most don't use the authorization protocol, or just use it 
with the default messages which I alway delete as most of them are spim 
again, or allow them and getting all spim.

(Of course I have put email-pager and web-panel to ignore as they have become 
totaly unusable...)

Any solution for the spim problem in future releases?

Regards
