Is it possible to block file transfer using IM (AOL,yahoo, etc) using PIX firewall?

Thanks,

Hi Jong

Please see the following link, you would need to be running 7.x of the software.

Just to add to that. Using MPF, you can be as granular as to allow IM traffic whilst blocking file-transfers.

The link mj11 provided is a good starting point. Post your MPF config (class-maps/policy-maps) if you have any problems.
