IM Traffic Blocking Software

[MeTed]

Hi All,

So, I'm getting kinda tired of constantly blocking instant messaging ports
and IP addresses in my firewall. Is there any software for Win2K Server
that can block IM traffic?


TIA...

This article is written in the context of doing this with ISA Server, but it
should give you a pretty good idea of what you are up against. You may find
it more prudent to actually uninstall the IMs from the machines (can't use
what they ain't got) and deal with it on a "human-to-human" basis rather
than expecting technology and your "blocking techniques" to be everyone's
babysitter.
