Blocking outbound file transfer in MSN messenger v6

Hi..

I'm system administrator of a financial company,

and my boss required that all outbound file trasmission
through MSN v6 should be blocked ASAP..

It is suspected that someguy in our office, transmitted
sensitive file(including customer's private info) through
MSN v6 messenger..

Well, I found that it is very difficult to block outbound
file transfer between MSN v6's

In the previours version, I knew port 6891-6900 range..and
blocking those port would do..

Please let me know how to block outfound file transfer in
V6..

thanks in advance..

Greetings Richard,

Blocking outgoing file transfers in MSN Messenger 6 is actually quite difficult -- MSN
Messenger 6 has the ability to send files through the Messenger server itself, and as such,
can't really be blocked.
