Sure. There's an open-source IM server called Jabber:

  http://www.jabber.org/

It's basically the same as MSN/AOL/Yahoo instant messaging
except you set up the server internally rather than sending
sensitive, proprietary internal communications out onto the
Internet through somebody else's server, and back.

IMO, you have to be nuts to send anything through MSN, AOL or
Yahoo's IM systems that you wouldn't want made public.
