Privacy settings

[Inhabitant of Zion]

Hi

I can't seem to get the privacy settings in gaim to work and prevent
these bombing/flooding programs.

I have set it so it to only allow those on my buddy list but I am still
getting not only unwanted messages coming through but loads of requests
to add me to buddy lists.

Does anybody know if the privacy options in Kopete are any better?

Any advice gratefully received.
