I propose that, rather than changing content, proxies simply add the evil bit to packets from sources that they know to be evil. This can be treated by applications as simply a suggestion, like CSS. Here is how we can set the evil bit---at the proxy level! Mark banner ad transmissions as evil!

Have a period where you have a parallel system going and then have a cut off time where SMTP servers die.
All it will take is the top ISP's in each country and large corporations to stop accepting SMTP mail and you'ill be sure that everyone else will then fall inline.
