Sort of. As long as you restrict outbound connections to authorized servers
and do not allow

Source: any_internal
Destination: any
Service: any

it will work. AI works primarily on port 80 traffic, which usually has to be
open for most companies. A forthcoming version will allow P2P blocking
regardless of the port. I think IM was included, but am not positive.

Subject: Re: [FW-1] how to block MSN, AOL, Yahoo messenger with R54 or R55
Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 19:32:52 -0400

Why are we still talking about blocking applications
such as MSN,AOL and Yahoo messenger based on tcp
ports?
Weren't r55 and future ones able to block based on
Application Intelligence?






The MSN under R54 should work... Unless it's a brand new client with differing ports?

All versions seem to use different IP ranges but
blocking access to these IP's should work.

Allow: 65.54.244.42  - Hotmail (if u like)
Block: 65.52.0.0 - 65.55.255.255
Block: 207.68.0.0 / 255.255.0.0
Block: 207.46.0.0 / 255.255.0.0
