"We" don't have a policy in place the prevents folks from reading yahoo, hotmail etc. So if I have our firewall configured to block this I'm sure I'd immediately be blacklisted by end users. I could just as easily use McAffee EPO and add these various webmail URLs and block them. Until management decides this is a business critical issue I won't go there. But I certainly have considered the idea along with blocking IM traffic.
