spam under pidgin


ok I run Fedora 12 and for instant messaging I use Pidgin.
Now I have a yahoo account and two msn accounts setup and they all get spam unfortunately I need people to be able to add me and message me so I cant jst say ignore everyone not on my contact list. I have heard of bot-sentry but I can't find anything other than a tar-bal and I dont know how to install from that can someone tell me how to either install that or tell me how to install it thru the terminal or am I just off track and need n entirely different plugin?

Another good one is Privacy Please. Bot Sentry is more useful against bots than humans, Privacy Please is more useful against humans than bots, so i use them both.
Fedora does not provide Bot Sentry package as i see (why is another question), it means you need to compile from source.
