Instead of banning, you should be looking into a secure IM client. Several companies make secure clients that also link up to the major players via a gateway.
Trillian is a combined (AIM, Y!, ICQ, IRC) client that supports secure direct P2P (peer to peer) connections. A Swiss Army Knife of communication! Btw, isn't it ass-backwards to state that you are establishing a corporate policy for banning IM, and then ask for feedback on whether or not IM serves a substantial network support purpose? Seems to me one would do discovery before creating policy.... ;) -Jim P.
