The USPS has an 'unwanted mail' option which can be invoked by a
resident for their address.\302\240 Under this option, any incoming mail not
addressed to the resident(s) by name will not be delivered, and will
instead be returned to sender, or discarded in the case of junk mail.\302\240
To invoke the option, I think you have to fill out a form listing the
names of addressees for mail which is wanted. The option exists because
some people complain about receiving too much junk mail and/or mail
addressed to long-gone former occupants.\302\240 There may be levels of service
to choose among, such as 'no junk mail', but allowing mail addressed by
name, for any name.

Keith may want to check on how much junk mail is arriving now. If there
is none, that might suggest that some 'unwanted mail' option is in
effect.\302\240 If you visit the relevant P.O. in person, you should be able to
inquire about the status.\302\240 They will probably want to see current ID
showing the address, understandably.
