1. The easy way
* Tell employees that Yahoo Messenger is prohibited.
* Log outbound connections to port 5050.
* Find a unique signature for the HTTP connections and log them.
(eg. "Host: scs.yahoo.com" or somesuch).
* Let management deal with offenders.
2. The hard way
Try to fool Yahoo Messenger into thinking that it got a connection, but
the server immediately closed the connection. Perhaps then it will not
try to go stealth and instead tell the user that it cannot connect. You
might try using a REDIRECT to a local port and use tcpwrappers to force
the socket to be immediately closed.
