in your dansguardian.conf there should be an option called "filtergroups"... it lets you create special confs for different users and groups of users... perhaps you should look into that...

look in your bannedsitelist file...

i think it's because of URL redirections and stuff... like, i just tried going to hotmail.com and i was redirected twice... once to passport.com and then to live.com... you probably need to check your dansguardian logfile to see the URLs which are being blocked and then add the relevant addresses to the exceptionlist... passport.com, login.live.com, msn.com, etc, etc, etc... for google you'd probbably wanna add mail.google.com or something like that, but check your logfile to be sure...
