They don't pay for incoming traffic (at least anywhere I've heard of).
They pay for incoming storage. The user has direct control of incoming
storage since they can delete things from it. The user has
little-to-no control over outgoing storage.

Yeah, users'll be *real* happy about being told "you can't send any
more mail to anyone until some of the people you mailed in the past
delete it, maybe you could ring them all up and ask them nicely".
