I get this issue with Yahoo, though I am not getting requests through any other services so I don't know if it is Yahoo only. The same thing is happening on my Nokia N900 running empathy on Maemo. No matter how many times I reject the request, it keeps popping up on both platforms until I log into Yahoo messenger (as in comment #18) and reject the request. I don't think the requester is spamming me (i.e. I know they are spamming in that they are strangers who want to sell me porn and vitamin supplements, but I don't think they are repeatedly requesting over and over); I think that the single request is simply not rejected properly from the empathy client.

I am running Lucid, with empathy version 2.30.2.
