Does it allow you to tag the junk mail and not let it be delivered?
Some years ago, I stocked up on stamps to avoid the price increase in future years.
I just checked my stash, and realized I have 1,500 stamps !! A lifetime supply.
As an investment it has worked out pretty well, over the past 10 years, the annualized increase in value has been 3% per year and it's tax free.
The cluster mailbox is a half mile + away down a steep grade. On low activity days, informed delivery lets me decide whether or not a trip to the box will be worthwhile.
This is a great strategy, but why stop at deleting the emails? Just throw away the letters, too. They can only bring bad news............ A while back, using this service, I saw I had a letter coming from the IRS. Spent most of the day worrying about it, but it turned out to be nothing bad. A few other similar experiences after that and now I delete the emails without opening them.........
Occasionally I receive an email that says there’s a piece of mail for which there’s no scanned image. I’m guessing, but don’t know for sure, that signals junk mail or similar.
In my experience, it’s non-first class junk mail, an item somewhat larger than about 6x6 inch (large envelope, catalog) or something that just got missed by the scanner. The latter doesn’t seem common.
I guess the scan happens before that and could help the actual intended recipient know.
Overall, a better informed system is a step forward for the public.
It is scanned through the automation/sorting process (called MICT), not prior to delivery. They started these scans after the anthrax mailings of 2001.

When I get that message it is almost always the weekly flyers and adverts packages
What will us retirees do for fun now?!?
Going to the mailbox was entertainment. If you already know what's going to be in there, where's the fun in that?
