Re: how to block ALL AIM traffic ?

Fundamentally, isn't blocking all AIM traffic impossible, since with
SSH they can go over any port, and since the traffic is encrypted,
protocal sniffers won't notice?  Now, you can certainly say "Well, if
they go to that much trouble, they're obviously breaking policy and
trying to circumvent our policy," but aren't they already doing that
to go to e-messenger.net and the like?
