Hi Mahesh,

I have just recently done this, I found though that blocking the IP was
no good as the IP's change (and could change).

The first thing you have to do is make sure that the users can't get
directly out to the outside world (must use the proxy).

Then I created and added the following lines in the squid.conf:

acl MSN req_mime_type ^application/x-msn-messenger$
http_access deny MSN

This identifies the MSN traffic and blocks it (works great, much to my
users disgust *grin*).
