There are hundreds, if not thousands, of web based mail services out
there. Best way I have found to block them is by getting a firewall that
integrates with a filtering service - we use a sonicwall and websense.
Websense has a specific category for web mail.

For blocking IM, our sonicwall has an option to do that on it's own.
