Ok I give up.   Here's the situation.   I've created a Instant Messenger rule that is to allow messenger traffic.  It looks like this:
 
Action:  Allow
Prot:  MSN Messenger
From:  Internal
To:  External
Users:  All users
 
Works perfectly.
 
Now I want to limit the users that the policy will apply to.   I created a "NOT ALLOWED MSN" user set in the EXCEPTIONS portion of the Users.   When I do.   NOBODY gets out.
 
I've also tried to create a "ALLOWED MSN" user set and replaced the ALL USERS with this user set.   Same results.   Nobody gets out.  
 
All I'm trying to do is limit the users that can use MSN Messenger.

there is a subscriber article that explains how to do this.
http://www.smallbizserver.net/Articles/tabid/266/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/183/Default.aspx

what you have to take into consideration here is rule order.

a deny rule will not explcitly deny the traffic, it will just not pass it according to that rule, it will send it to the next rule for evaluation, if it then finds a rule that the traffic applies to it will get routed.

so things to check:
rule order.
is your allow rule too general? ie, does it apply to all users where the deny rule applies only to a 'block msn group' then allow rule should only apply to the 'allow group'

hope that helps. let us know if it still dont work!
