Do you have a content filtering proxy server?

Such as WebSense, AllegroSurf, WinProxy, or Squid?

If so, then deny the sites that your users access for webmail (e.g. hotmail.com, etc.).

You might start with a policy…

Use

Use web filtering software to block the web sites that allow web access to mail. And set up firewall rules to block the tcp/udp ports that mail uses (ie 24, 25 etc…) to block Outlook/Outlook Express from receiving it.
