Pers. Comm. - what is red circle next to each username?

mjtobler1 — Tue, 19 Mar 2019 13:49:55 GMT

Cisco Unified Personal Communicator (desktop client)

Version 8.5.1.17660-6.1.34

All the user names in my User List has an icon ("red circle with slanted line through its center") next to their name.

I have no problem calling people or to IM them.

I can't find (in the documentation) what this icon signifies.

No one else in the company seems to have this icon.

The IT department can't explain this icon.

Here's a screenshot of what it looks like ... can anyone explain?

These are IM contacts or domain you've blocked from File -> Options -> Privacy -> Exceptions

You can IM them but the opposite is false.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Your answer is interesting because I've never changed anything in File->Options->Privacy->Exceptions

However, I did check and on the Exceptions dialog box, there was a "dummy" URL in the "Blocked people/domains".

I state "dummy' because it was an invalid URL ... no relationship to any of our company URLs.

Thanks for the answer !
