[Bug 664110] [NEW] contacts added show as offline & Unable to send message: In local permit/deny

[Daniel Convissor]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

AIM contacts added via Empathy don't work.  The contact gets added, but
they show up as off line.  And if I try to send them a message anyway,
the following comes up in the chat window:

(in gray): Error sending message '': unknown
(in chat bubble from user I'm trying to contact): Unable to send message: In local permit/deny

This has happened with both contacts I tried to add.  One of them is my
spouse.  They are logged in to AIM, their account is set to allow
messages from anyone.
