       For Web-mail, a software solution is what you need.
    You will need a Windows-based server running
    on your network, and you will need a software-based
    filtering solution that has Web mail as an option.
    CyberSitter, SurfControl, and CyBlock can do this.
    Just make sure the category for Web mail is
    selected, and you are done.
        For IM, you should get rid of your hardware
    appliance, and get AllegroSurf, teamed with
    Tiny Personal Firewall, and then tell it to block
    outgoing calls to ports 1000-5300, and port
    80 on the Socks server. That will shut down
    all known IM and P2P software, even Skype.
    You then use a different HTTP proxy, and
    tell Tiny to allow it to use port 80. Some people
    might call my setup a "toy firewall", but it can'
    stop a lot of things better than the hardware
    appliances can.
