[Bug 335070] New: Evolution Automatic Contacts Plugin not excluding blocked users.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=335070 Summary: Evolution Automatic Contacts Plugin not excluding blocked users. Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Evolution AssignedTo: bnc-team-evolution@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bryeny@mi-tech.com QAContact: lakhil@novell.com CC: nat@novell.com Found By: Customer The Evolution Automatic Contacts Plugin includes a feature to automatically import buddies from your Instant Messaging accounts into the Evolution address book. This is a great feature, and I commend the author for this plugin. One drawback. AIM keeps blocked names in their list. These blocks are indicated by a 'blocked' icon. Commonly, we block spammers coming to us over instant messaging. Unfortunately, the Automatic Contacts plugin apparently does not recognize blocked users on the list and imports them. I have about 75 spammers now listed in my Evolution address book. :-) I really don't think we want our address books cluttered with spammer addresses. The only way, currently, to avoid this is to remove those names from our list. But then that opens up spammers to come after us again. The Automatic Contacts plugin does not have configurable options. In the spirit of freedom of choice, perhaps we can add a configurable option to allow us to exclude blocked names. *Note: I've been told to redirect Evolution stuff to bugzilla.gnome.org, but since this is a specific plugin written by Nat Friedman at Novell, I'm assuming I'm filing in the right place here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
