How is this going to work? Assume a user has a privacy list "Best Buddies" and "My reports". The external white list might be called "External Spam Filter". The user has to have the ability to have two lists active at the same time. Is this an available feature? The use case looks like this:

  • External Spam Filter is always on

  • Best Buddies or My Reports are optionally on.

How would the user interface look like? I would rather have an additional option in the log in menue that has a check box [] Shielded mode.

Where shielded mode is only passing through messages by known contacts (one where presence is evaluated) and subscription requests are flatly refused.

Shielded mode should be available for every transport....
