Unless you go to R55W or block all outbound ports except for specific
sources, you probably can't do it. Many of these IM clients negotiate random
high ports if the standard ones won't work, so unless you're very closely
controlling outbound traffic, they'll just slip on through. R55W works
regardless of what port is used, a major difference from R55.
