I've got a Sonicwall Pro 300 & am trying to block access to Yahoo's INstant
Messenger. I've blocked port 5050, as well as several domains, like
scs.yahoo.com, scs.msg.yahoo.com & counless others that I've found in
different forums out there, but nothing is seeming to stop it.
Why?!?!?

You have to block all of the IP for the IM servers - blocking the ports
means nothing, they can use any port.
