I have been getting those warnings for yonks while using Gaim, it hasn't prevented me connecting yet. I'd not bother worrying about it until MS actually try and stop non MSN client connections.

My .0002c worth.

I get the same message on Trillian but not using the security fixed version
hasn't stopped it connecting to MSN. GAIM is also still running iirc, maybe
the is an Alvaros MSN clone problem?


I just found that AMSN still works despite the email from M$. Perhaps
there is an amnesty period to give users the chance to update, but it
still works fine...

I hope the authors of AMSN are able to 'fix' the current version to
trick MSN servers into allowing connections, because its a useful
tool to catch-up with all my friends who have deserted NZ...

Kind regards,
