    I'm using OpenDNS at work. I successfully blocked hotmail.com but can't block www.hotmail.com. Any ideas?

    No need to. Blocking hotmail.com blocks all of it's subdomains too.

    still, the problem remains, I've blocked all webmail but Hotmail is still accessable. I don't know but the hotmail servers are using too many different domain names to block, For instance : by116w.bay116.mail.live.com
    keeps coming up with the client pc's while hotmail it self does not.

    More off the domainnames used:

    ad.yieldmanager Sorry but this 1 is not really hotmail itself but it's the advert server
    live
    login.live
    msn.co
    msnportal.112.2o7
    msn
    nl.msn
    p.live
    rad.live
    rad.msn

    Anybody ideas ????

    respectfully

    I think if you have these 2 entries in your Domains Block List it will take care of the hotmail issue, MSN is really not involved:

    hotmail.com
    live.com
