Hi,

I use the yowsup in a whatsapp server to comunicate with my clients. It's possible use the yowsup to put a number (client) in the block list?

Thank you.

I would really love this function too. Since I use it for receiving messages from a lot of user, and some of them spam me a lot, I really need to block them for some time, and unblock them too.

You can just create an array with blocked numbers, and if the client is in the array then don't reply to them. That's what I did, I specified which users may send commands to my yowsup.

I'm also interested in adding users to my block list, but I want this block to be effective also on my mobile, so keeping a local array doesn't do it. Specifically, I'm looking to bulk-block all 2000+ numbers from my office -- I only want to use WhatsApp for private use.
