I got it working.=20
In case anyone cares...=20

I had to do this

in the squid.conf file:

acl blocked_sites dstdomain "/etc/squid/blocked"
acl bademployee src 192.168.0.5

http_access deny blocked_sites bademployee

/etc/squid/blocked is a file that lists all the sites
mail.yahoo.com
=2Ehotmail.com
=2Ewildemail.com
=2Emicrosoft.com

that sort of thing. I had to enable all the debugging in squid so I could=
 tail=20
the log and see what was happening. I had the Allow all acl in place, so =
that=20
was pretty much blowing over anything else I put in. I got rid of that an=
d=20
everything works great.
