This is a Gaim plugin that automatically blocks nicknames or messages based on regular expression matches. Right now it only works with yahoo since those are the only chat rooms I visit using gaim.

Installation:

To install, copy autoblock.c and autoblock.h to /path/to/gaim/sources/plugins and type "PLUGIN_LIBS=-lpcre make autoblock.so".
Then copy autoblock.so to your gaim plugins directory (On unices it is ~/.gaim/plugins).

The files ab_nicks.txt and ab_messages.txt are supplied; I spent a little time culling them; and they get most of the bots in the rooms I have been in.
Copy them to your gaim home dir (~/.gaim on unices).

What's New in This Release:
Really fixed the problem with blocking IM's even when not chatting.
Fixed the hang/crash when a non-yahoo IM is recieved.

NOTE - many of the preferences that used to be available are no longer available due to changes in the Gaim API and program flow.
