Anyone can IM anyone if they know their name (or see them, click and IM). The "friends only" is about letting people know you are online OR letting YOU only see your friends and making others invisible.

In Firestorm, you can choose to only receive IMs from friends or groups. 

Preferences/Privacy/Only friends and groups can call or IM me: When enabled allows only friends and groups to be able to IM or call you. As of FS 6.4.12, this is a per-account setting (instead of global).

This is also in the Linden and Alchemy viewers (give or take the "per-account" thing which I'm not sure I understand) and presumably others.

Because it's across viewers, I wonder if it might be enforced server-side, in which case it might apply to off-line IMs too—does it?

Also, I'd guess it only applies to avatar-to-avatar IMs, not object-originating IMs. I could see it might be useful to screen out IMs from objects owned by non-friends but that seems a pretty different thing.
