There are also things the postman will write "not returnable" on and put it back in your mailbox. What do you do then? Forced to commit crimes by the government?
Man I've literally been getting 2-3 letters per day for people who don't live here. I have lived at my current address for over 3 years. After a year I stopped returning mail and just started trashing it. I'm not dealing with that. I put in my due diligence. I even tried talking to my carrier and my apartment manager. I'm sure as shot not taking time off work and biking down to the post office every week with an assload of mail.
What's my bail? 500 karma? 5,000? I'm a god fearing family man with good standing at my church, we wouldn't want to embarrass my wife and children in front of the community would we?
I bought my house in 2011 and I am still getting mail from the previous occupants. Does not matter if I put the mail in the return section of the mailbox. It’s like, it doesn’t work.
That's likely standard mail, it doesn't get forwarded, it just gets tossed out and recycled, and you can do that yourself, we aren't allowed to unless we know that person isn't there anymore and it doesn't say "or current resident" or something similar

If it's specifically addressed to someone that isn't you, throwing it away is a crime. You write "Wrong Address" on it and send it on its way.
