1.0 Blocking Messages Overview
      Blocking messages are displayed when a user makes a request that is denied by the 
      rules/ruleset in effect for the individual Monitor. One blocking message is associated with each 
      of the four standard/default protocols. Default blocking messages are established in DynaComm
      i:filter and are accessed on the Blocking Message tab in the Protocol Properties dialog.

      Blocking messages can include HTML formatting and hyperlinks. However, the total maximum 
      size for the message cannot exceed 1,454 bytes.

========================================================================
2.0 Modifying Blocking Messages
      Default blocking messages can be modified in several different ways. The message can be 
      updated through the Blocking Message tab where a new file with a blocking message can be 
      selected or a redirect statement can be set up to send the browser to an HTML page for 
      messages that exceed the maximum number of bytes.

========================================================================
3.0 Sample Blocking Messages
     Sample blocking messages can be found in the DynaComm i:filter\Blocking Messages folder. 
     These messages range from examples that include only one file to advanced examples that 
     include several files. Examples that include multiple files must be set up in a particular manner. 

      Four examples are applicable to any protocol in any situation. These include the examples
      found in the following folders:
      a. DynaComm i:filter\Blocking Messages\Example 1
      b. DynaComm i:filter\Blocking Messages\Example 2
      c. DynaComm i:filter\Blocking Messages\Example 3
      d. DynaComm i:filter\Blocking Messages\Example 4

     Two examples are provided specifically for User Agent. (NOTE: These examples are not 
     applicable in ISA Server Monitor installations.) These include the examples found in the 
     following folders:
     a. DynaComm i:filter\Blocking Messages\User Agent Example 1
     b. DynaComm i:filter\Blocking Messages\User Agent Example 2

     Detailed instructions for using the files are provided in the DynaComm i:filter Online 
     Reference which is accessed through the Management Console. To access these 
     instructions, select Help > Help to open the Help system.
     1 For the general examples, in the Help system Table of Contents open:
        Configuration Topics > Protocols > Blocking Message Examples.
     2 For the User Agent examples, in the Help system Table of Contents open:
        Understanding DynaComm i:filter > User Agent > User Agent Blocking Messages.

     The first folder, DynaComm i:filter\Blocking Messages\Default, contains the default blocking 
     message in the event the original default message is overwritten and is needed again.
