Blocking MSN Chat Spammers

For the last several weeks I've been getting tons of these p0rn spam chats on Adium from my MSN/Hotmail IM account. I suspected that there was a way to block all new, uninvited, contacts, but I was trying to do it through the Accounts panel, and it was even easier than I thought.

Under 'Adium' in the menu, select 'Privacy Settings...' and then select the single service and select 'Allow only contacts on my contact list'. Simple as that. Now I'm not going to get all these chats about their web cam not logging into MSN... forget it, dudes... I have a better tool for IM - Adium.

As an aside, I have to say that Google is amazing. I typed this problem in and within 5 sec. I had the answer. Amazing stuff the internet. Amazing.
