Break away at what speed and size of vehicle? Likely a Sherman tank would prove it to be break away. Might not be street legal, but what’s the federal law say?

Okay, so the mailbox needs to be on a 2" metal pipe or a 4"x4" wood post. It states nothing anything next to it. 
Personally, I have had my mailbox post hit 5 or 6 times. One time only a few days after I had just replaced it. I was fortunate in that my cheap box was very resilient, so I only had to replace the post each time. However, it was getting expensive and time-consuming, especially when I was working a lot of overtime, trying to find the time to do that.
I have since made a little flower bed around it and have gardening blocks about 8" high around it - except in front of it by the street. Since then, almost 10 years now, it has not been hit. Apparently that is enough of a deterence.

After the last ‘Baseball Bat’ attack on my street side Mailbox.
I’ve removed it completely.
Now we send our ‘Falcon’ down from the nearest ‘Turret’
He retrieves the mail from the Postal person after she attaches it to the Hanging Coconuts
tied to his Talons (an obvious Monty Python reference! 
—Swallows just
don’t strike fear in anybody).'What’s his Air speed velocity?..um…I don’t know?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Have you ever watched a Nathan’s hot dog eating contest? Besides just being gross, it scares me that any man can swallow that many hot dogs in a matter of minutes.

Where are the hotdogs delivered by USPS? Asking for a friend.
You know, Jesus is my mentor. Jesus died for the forgiveness of our sins. I am not Jesus, so I live for the forgiveness of sin. I think some forgiveness is warranted in this situation. That and a fine and maybe some jail time. Oh, and reimbursing the OP seven fold for the mailbox..
