Re: howto block yahoo messenger

[Kunal Walia <kwalia@xxxxxx>]

Well not everytime the server that Yahoo Messenger tries to connect to is
http://pager.yahoo.com in fact I am yet to see it. So how does it solve the
prob again?
I can understand it if you had closed the port that the messenger service
runs on, but since its a client on your machine it can use ne of the Pager
servers to connect to Yahoo !
