Our company does not allow any form of instant messaging.
Before we allow it but staffs abused it. There is a policy regarding this
but clients are just too stubborn to follow the policy. Blocking such services is
a better countermeasure rather than giving sanctions and penalties to clients.
TO: Kenneth,
Thanks! I'll try it. Just one question, can I use the url_regex instead of dstdomain?
We have an existing list of blocked addresses, can I just add it on the list
or is this a different one?

I suppose you'd want to block connections to the following servers:
And in the case of MSN, gateway.moswest.msn.net.
You'll have to visit the Yahoo and MSN sites to get the latest list, though.
That said, I think this is the wrong approach. Several other chat services are available. And there are also times when these chat services can be quite useful.
Better to institute a corporate policy with regards to use of these services, monitor accordingly, and impose sanctions against violators.
