Perhaps through a webfilter

Something like Websense for example, or another tool or process 'at the perimeter'. Application Metering, if that is what tool you were thinking of, can only block .exe's, such as IE or Firefox, which obviously you wouldn't want to do.

Proxy server can do that

A proxy or ISA server can do that. There you can set a deny rule for yahoo mail.
