[Bug 410810] [NEW] Empathy should have option to only allow contacts on contact list to start a conversation with the user

[Michael Chang]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

I tend to get unsolicited messages on my chat accounts.

In other clients, e.g. Pidgin, or the official network clients (GTalk,
MSN, etc.) there is an option to only allow contacts on my contact list
to see my status and start conversations/chats with me. When someone
else wishes to add me to their contact list, they are required to ask my
permission, and it is not possible to start a chat/conversation without
adding me to their contact list.

Empathy does not appear to have this feature, as of karmic.
