Also, in squid 2.5 you can:

use
acl messenger_rep rep_mime_type <somemessengermimetype>
<somothermessengermimetype>
http_reply_access deny messenger_rep
http_reply_access allow all

This will drop all messenger replies on the floor, regardless of source
- as long as the messenger client is not using CONNECT. (Which, IIRC,
they do not).
