Wow, your MSN acl's are too broad.You are blocking entire ip-blocks. Are you sure all 65000 ip's are used bij MSN messenger?
I don't know about Yahoo, but you can block MSN messenger on mime type: acl msn_messenger req_mime_type -i "illegal-mime-types.txt" http_access deny msn_messenger and illegal-mime-types.txt contains line like: (I also block comet cursor, hotbar, etc.) ^application/x-msn-messenger$ Grtz Gerben. >>> "Kirk Ty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/03/03 04:43PM >>> This will fix your issues. Will block IM but not yahoo mail or hotmail. squid.conf acl AOL-YAHOO-MESSENGER dstdomain login.oscar.aol.com acl AOL-YAHOO-MESSENGER dstdomain pager.yahoo.com acl AOL-YAHOO-MESSENGER dstdomain shttp.msg.yahoo.com acl AOL-YAHOO-MESSENGER dstdomain update.messenger.yahoo.com acl AOL-YAHOO-MESSENGER dstdomain update.pager.yahoo.com acl MSN-MESSENGER dst 64.4.13.0/255.255.255.0 acl MSN-MESSENGER dst 207.46.110.0/255.255.255.0 http_access deny AOL-YAHOO-MESSENGER http_access deny MSN-MESSENGER -hup it when finished. Will speed up your proxy tremendously....or at least that's what I saw once I did it.
