Controlling who can contact you
Just as you can send a message to anyone whose address you know, anyone
who knows your address can send a message to you.
There are several ways to control who can send you an instant message:
·
You can set it so everyone can send you messages.
·
You can set it so only people in your buddy list can send you messages.
·
You can prohibit specific individuals from contacting you.
·
You can turn MSN Messenger off to stop all Messenger activity.
