The Joebox does "string in string" comparison on URLs, so if you type in ".yahoo.com" instead of "yahoo.com" for your block list, "yahoo.com" won't match because it doesn't have a "." but "anything.yahoo.com" will match.

You shouldn't need to allow yahoo.com explicitly, if it's getting blocked try a "Soft Allow" for yahoo.com and a block for "messenger.yahoo.com".

Hi,

Any chance the new and improved version of the Joebox software will be able to filter subdomains? I'd love to allow access to [ http://yahoo.com ]yahoo.com but cut off access to [ http://messenger.yahoo.com ]messenger.yahoo.com as an example. Will this be possible with the new upgrade to MECguard?
