Dear peoples,

I am currently planning to use my Netscreen firewall to block the access of Yahoo Messenger but the current practise also block the access of Yahoo Mail together, any alternative for just block the messenger but not the mail?

regards,

Charles

my alternative would be to move your mailbox to a more decent program like outlook and just add a new account and remeber the POP3 and the other one is eg. pop3.yahoo.com

and i think thats easy

Yahoo! Messenger uses these ports (AFAIK):

5101/TCP: peer-to-peer
5050/TCP: client/server

It may also attempt to use the following ports for server communications:

20/TCP
21/TCP
25/TCP
37/TCP
80/TCP
119/TCP

A better answer may be to block access to the servers. I think cs.yahoo.com is one of these.
