Preventing others from sending you messages |
To prevent anyone from sending you a message, set your status to Offline or log out of the AIM or Rendezvous service. |
Choose iChat > Preferences, click Privacy, and then select an option. You can also click the top Edit List button to allow people to chat with you. Click the Add (+) button and enter their AIM or .Mac address. Click the bottom Edit List button to block specific people. You might, for example, choose to accept messages from only a few specific people, while blocking all others. If you block people from sending you messages, they cannot see when you are online, and you cannot see when they are online or send messages to them. |
To quickly add a person to the list of blocked people, click the Block button that appears in the message window when you get a message from that person. |
