Created attachment 150488 File transfer spam, only name described by user is visible
I'm getting file transfer spam from bots outside of my contact list. The only information I get is their "name" but not their address, I can therefore only reject every single file. This has been going on for about twenty files and I then decided to kill empathy (I'm soooo happy the Quit button is still there).
By default any transfer of a file from outside of my contact list should ask me to add the contact to my list, rejecting that file and any further file if I do not add them. Otherwise I can easily be clubbed to death by a bot.
It might also help to add file transfer information to the conversation logs, which would also allow me to find the real address of these bots.
