Comment(by chemistrydioxide):

 You are talking about MSN and Yahoo.
 This ticket is about a problem with the SIP/SIMPLE protocol. You should
 open a new ticket for this issue.

 Replying to [comment:5 refried]:
 > I received an authorization request on my Yahoo account from someone
 with username with the format:
 >
 > name at hotmail.com
 >
 > I approved, and tried to add her as well, but got an error.  I forget
 what it was.  I know it looks like a MSN account, but it was truly
 received via my Yahoo account.
 >
 > When I try to add her through the IM window, I get the error:
 >
 > (8/10/2008 12:00:26 AM) Could not add buddy name at hotmail.com to group
 <Group> to the server list on account <MyYahooAccount>.
 >
 > I am able to receive IMs from her, but haven't seen any evidence that I
 am able to return them.
 >
 > The Pidgin Debug Window with error level "All" doesn't seem to indicate
 any problems.
 >
 > I dunno if I should've submitted a new ticket for this or not, but seems
 like a fairly major bug if a valid class of usernames is actually being
 misparsed.
 >
 > Thanks!
