I'd guess that your packet filter rules do allow that traffic. The IM/P2P control in the Astaro is a specialized use of the flow-classification tool used in the Intrusion Protection System; it is a way of restricting specific IM/P2P traffic if the packet filter rules allow it in. It is not a proxy like HTTP for web traffic or SMTP for email.

Cheers - Bob
