RE: howto block yahoo messenger

["Harshal Vaidya (CTS)" <HarshalV@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

well pal i respect your idea but the messenger uses port 80 coz it
communicates through http
and if behind a proxy it can use SOCKS also !!!
so how about BLOCKING PORT 80 and getting off the net FOREVER !!!!!

How about just blocking the port that it uses?? (I might be way off !)
