AA,
Try This,I saw this on some documents somewhere:
U have to edit squid.conf or ?


##### Block MSN Messenger
acl msnmessenger url_regex -i gateway.dll
http_access deny msnmessenger

##### Block MSN online chat
acl msnchathttp url_regex -i ^http://chat\.
acl msnchathttp url_regex -i ^http://.*chat.*
http_access deny msnchathttp

[lambda]

those rules will block more hosts than just the ones used by the messenger. what should do the trick is just one rule:

Code: Select all

acl windowslive rep_mime_type -i ^application/x-msn-messenger$
[...]
http_access deny windowslive

for msn web chat, you're best off looking at the logs, figuring out what is common about the chat connections (especially their mime types, or urls), and blocking that. simply blocking http://chat.* will block a lot of stuff.
