I have users on my network that are using ICQ. This is a security concern, I
would like to deny acces using my firewall.

Which ports and/or address should be blocked to disable ICQ?

On my copy of Mirabilis's ICQ, the server used is listed as icq.mirabilis.com
and the port is listed is 4000. I only say "listed as" because i'm not sure
whether ports used are in ranges.

I belive the actual transfer of messages, chats, and files between ICQ client
users are on other ports.
