I have the same option, and Padion seems to auto authorise _all_ msn contacts. I think it's because you've authorised the transport.

People apparantly use this to determine if you exist/are botherable. (sigh) Depending on what version of PyICQ you are running right now, it's easy to turn off. <disableWebPresence/> in your config.xml. Future versions will have it off by default.
