iptables newsgroups

Hello,

Some one in our network is using netnweswire lite. This is an rss,atom
newsreader.
How can we block this with iptables?
This person uses also internet, this must be avaliable.
Is this possible?

Kind regards

Block the IP address of the site(s) he is reading.

rss is provided over http. but have a look at the experimental
ipt_string module. It will filter contents of the http stream.

Is it worth it? AFAIK these are headlines.
