Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for selective presence notification are provided. In one general aspect, a plurality of presence notification messages are monitored. Each presence notification message may include address information identifying at least one of a recipient or a sender of the presence notification message. Based on the address information a determination is made as to whether a presence notification message is allowable. If it is determined that the presence notification message is allowable, the transmission of the presence notification message is allowed.
