The one time I had to do this, I just did exactly that, made it so it was impossible to reach the msn servers through the firewall proxy.
This site: http://nscsysop.hypermart.net/no_chat.html has some particularly interesting information how to block chat programs in general. Including covering proxies, etc.
I hope that's helpful, .....Kelly John Rose..... Bruyere, Michel wrote:
