Hi,

In fact it does seem correct to me. Deleting a contact from the buddy 
list and denying someone to see your presence status are two different 
things.
Why if client A deleted contact B from his buddy list did you expect 
client A to loose its permission to see B's state? There is no 
connection between the two. For client A to be denied to see B's state, 
B is the one that must specify this..
Anyhow this question is more related to the clients, and the way they 
correlate deleting contacts with presence rules, opensips will do what 
the client tells it. And presence rules are specified in pres-rules XCAP 
documents. So if you want to report something not working in opensips 
you should look after inconsistencies between pres-rules documents and 
states in watchers tables.

Regards,
Anca
