Take, for example, the MS network popup messaging protocol (whose name I don't recall). It also put the message in the face of the targets.And as you noticed, the abuse stopped because everyone decided they didn't need the protocol. We can't do that with SMTP. Please read the document. It tries to explain all this in more detail than I've included here.
The very nature of MS's protocol is any-to-any, which is exactly what the problem with SMTP is as well.
