Bug Description
I have been getting IMs with unreadable text, but a link to various websites in Russia ( www.xxxx.ru). I have set pidgin to allow only messages from those on my buddy list. It appears to work, but at some point I will get another of these messages and when I check my preferences, it is reset to block only from the block list. I have been unable to post a bug with the pidgin project as the support site keeps timing out. I am using the latest Ubuntu package, "1:2.4.
Changed in pidgin: | |

What protocol (AIM, ICQ, MSN, etc.)?
On the second half of this: Reporting this to your distro first is the correct thing to do anyway. The Pidgin site is down right now because of issues relating to server migration. It's suboptimal, but it'll be fine soon, really.
