No guarantees you won't get complaints about people not able to receive private emails, but let your firewall drop all packages with destination (scs?).yahoo.com
After a month or so; do the same for america online instant messenger... Maybe next month everybody uses MSN messenger?

And what about the people using some off the wall freeware im client?

If this is at work, tell folks to follow the rules and no im's. Those that want to keep their jobs will comply, those that don't well, we know what happens there.
