I didn't get the qt version working yet, so i did some tests with jons-gtk-gui (its great), and it turned out that it doesn't matter 
what AllowNewUsers is set to, users do always get added to your contactlist if he/she sends you a msg, there is no need 
for replying to it. I restarted licq with and without reading the msg, and the testuser was on my contactlist (with a flashing 
msg when i didn't read it). So it sems that it is not working, or is it plugin dependend (doesn't work in autoreplyplugin)? i'll try 
to get the qt plugin working.
i've got this in my licq.conf:
[network]
AllowNewUsers = 0
should be ok i think...
