This should help:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/icmp-parameters

Basically, these are either:
1. responses from 67.127.120.169 to your ISA essentially stating that the
UDP port you tried to connect to was not available on that host
2. a spoof

Without seeing any other traffic that you might or might not have sent to
that host, it's difficult to say which, but my money is on a spoof.
If you see a lot of these, you should review your logs to see if you really
are trying to contact that host using UDP or if it's unwelcome traffic.
If it's unwelcome, then unless he's slamming you with ICML, you can ignore
it; ISA did.

Subject: [isalist] Blocked ICMP, 3, 3 ?


http://www.ISAserver.org

Could some kind sole explain what this means?
Do I need to add a protocol rule?

adsl-67-127-120-169.dsl.sktn01.pacbell.net
12/17/2003, 8:19:33, 67.127.120.169, <My IP>, ICMP, 3, 3, -, BLOCKED, ...

It is from the Packet Filter log.
Servers running behind ISA are web, email, nntp, ftp, & dns.

Also, after using my log scanner for a bit, I deemed it not all that
useful.  I have updated it and hope some find it useful:
