To put it simplistically
The current system is broken because anyone can inject mail into it with no
fear of backtracing
Pull won't prevent spam, in fact it is more about giving choice to the
recipient and taking it away from the sender
the sender essentaily "offers" mail to a recipient the recipient chooses
whether or not to accept it
Some people actually like spam, just like my wife likes catalogues in the
letter box

What's wrong with the current system?
If you don't know what's wrong with the current system, and why/how
it's being abused, you have no idea if your re-designed system will
have the same (or worse) problems.
