So if Microsoft annoy a significant number of their customers by making it easy for third parties to spend all their e-mail postage credits, people might start to favor Microsoft's competitors?

I don't think so as it's the ISP which is charging the subscriber and that's the competition I'm talking about.

It may be your ISP who sells you postage, but switching to another ISP won't let you avoid using postage.

Rich explained who is responsible for the hazard.  I mentioned why it may be difficult to fine the subscriber for the negligence when the he/she has been sold the idea of "unlimited" service.

You're not fining the subscriber. You're selling them the postage they need to send e-mail. If someone pwns them and uses up all their postage, you are not involved in the process of imposing that financial burden. Just like it's not the USPS's problem if someone steals the stamps out of your wallet.
