One could imagine changing the paradigm (never easy) so that 
the normal Internet service was proxied for common applications 
and NAT'ed for everything else...  This wouldn't eliminate all the
problems, but would dramatically cut down the incident rate.

If a site wants wide-open access, just give it to them.  If that turns 
out to cause operational problems (due to open mail proxies, spam 
origination, etc), then put 'em back behind the relays.

guilty until proven innocent, eh?  thanks mr ashcroft.
