Preventing MSN Messenger Spam on Adium

THU, 23 OCT 2008

I like Adium, but recently there were just too many spams from my MSN account, I tried finding the privacy settings under Preferences, only to find out later that it was not there.

The secret is it’s under Adium menu (on top left screen) > Privacy Settings (Alt + Cmd + P). Choose your MSN account, check ‘Allow only contacts on my contact list’, and it’s peaceful again.

But, I’m still wondering why can’t they just put Privacy settings under Preferences.

p.s. Trying out MarsEdit, saved me a couple of extra steps required to blog, trying to justify the reason why I only blogged like once every decade lately.
