My AIM isnt letting me receive IMs from ANYONE thats not on my buddy list. Even when I DO add them, they cant. When I checked in the regular AIM application, it had them added, but BLOCKED. weird... quite a process to get IMs huh? There's a menu within the AIM preferences to "Allow All Standard IMs", which is what I have selected, but I cannot fond a similar preference in Aduim. Help...? Thanks!
Adium should be recognizing whatever privacy settings you set up in another client. Try using the Official Client from AOL (available at http://www.aim.com).

I have a question regarding this, too. I had the official client set-up to ask me before allowing buddies not on my list to IM me (i.e., person x is trying to IM you, do you want to accept or decline), but those IMs still come through. Is adium unable to recognize that specific setting, or is it a bug?
No, Adium does not honor that setting (as that is a specific preference in AOL's IM client). Any settings which are stored on the server, however, Adium can honor.
