Blocked IM protocol still connecting

Ever since i use Astaro (from 7.401 up to 7.480), I have chosen "Block completely" for Tencent_QQ and Oscar.

However, each day i see in the Daily Executive Report that there are several hundred connections made (see screenshot).

How am i to interpret this?

Edit:

Added screenshot of IM Control Status
