You got to remember, there is still msn webmessenger they can use.
Blocking HTTP connections to messenger.msn.com (and presumably messenger.msn.co.uk - although I don't have access to our firewall to reconfigure it, so can't check) will block access to MSN web messenger.

The article Paul has a link to does say how to block both MSN Messenger and MSN Web Messenger.
