It's worth noting that MIT did get "punished" for cheating: the required number of points for the extra 25GB space was relatively much, much higher: http://i.imgur.com/QLJP5.jpg
It doesn't matter when you can create unlimited e-mail addresses, though.
The scaling for the number of points was set before the hack took place. Not sure why Dropbox made it so much harder for MIT vs CMU. Also, creating the mailing lists was actually one of the biggest bottlenecks and actually ended the progress, so its not exactly unlimited :)
