Its an automated email sent by that service using his address book. This
happens waay too often! :/
But not without his knowledge. He has to give login and password for
gmail/yahoo...
I had once set up gaim for someone to use for google and yahoo. Is that
a risk, because gaim is third party?
Gaim is just a client for several IM services and the risk involved is
the same as the risk in using the official clients. Services like
`jaxtr` require you to provide *your* password to *them* so that they
can get to your address book. There is no guarantee what other use they
might have for your credentials.
