>What steps will reproduce the problem?
Add <clist_deny_all_auth_requests>1</clist_deny_all_auth_requests> to
PyICQt config file.

>What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I've expected I won't get any authorization requests from ICQ while "deny
all auth" is active. However they are still come from numerous spammers
(<disableWebPresence/> is also active).

>What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
PyICQt 0.8.1.5, ejabberd 1.4.3, Ubuntu 9.04

>Please provide any additional information below.

1. This feature disabled by default. You can enable it via Ad-Hoc for separate user
(Settings -> Contact list settings).

2. Also possible change Ad-Hoc defaults for all users. Add in config these lines:
<adhocDefaults>
<user>
<clist_deny_all_auth_requests>1</clist_deny_all_auth_requests>
</user>
</adhocDefaults>
This change don't affects already registered users. It's only defaults for newcomers.

Unfortunately I've already enabled this feature for my account via Ad-Hoc menu last
week but authorization requests still bothering me (up to twenty times per day). Here
is the fresh screenshot - http://blacksir.googlepages.com/pyicqt-bug187.gif

One detail: all spam auth requests always comes right after I'm logging in. I can be
online for a full day and not get any auth request, but right after I logout/login I
usually get 2-10 of them.

Finally I've managed to get rid of those spam auth requests by tweaking some privacy
options using official ICQ client 6.5. I'm not sure which exact option did the trick,
but after tweaking I no longer receive spam through my pyICQt gateway.
