Agreed.  Just provide tubes and shut down infected customers until they clean up.  Keep it simple.  For content 
delivery, there are several non-evil ways of doing localization that don't involve caching the internet to hell and 
back - they'll work a LOT better and they place support in the content distributors court . At the very least, peering 
with them at the local IX should help a lot.

If you're going to try to control mail, do it explicitly.  Block 25 and provide a ratelimited, scoped relay server that 
people have to manually use if they NEED to use 25 - again, they should be using MSA instead, but...
