I think YOU didn't understand the question. Ranata Kabia wants to know a 
method to block the use of MS-Messenger, on a Linux Debian firewall.

So, why are you shitting out someone about the use of a platform, you 
don't want to use while YOU don't know ANYTHING of the situation of 
Ranata Kabia ... ?!

Please stay calm when you receive a mail from a list where you 
subscribed to. It is YOUR choice.
