This is not factually true. The USPS has a Postal Inspection Service
that can intercept your mail for various reasons. Details are in
39 USC 3013. The quote below comes from a report on their activities
for the year ended March 31 2004. During that period there were 21
withholding mail orders issued.

POSTAL INSPECTION SERVICE
The Postal Service reports to the Office of Inspector General information
related to investigative activities designed to protect the public against
unscrupulous mailers perpetrating fraudulent schemes. The following
information summarizes the administrative and judicial actions initiated
and resolved during the reporting period. These actions include the
issuance of cease and desist orders directed to mailers, actions to
intercept payments fraudulently induced, and orders seeking to intercept
fraudulent mailings.

In operations of any sort, network or otherwise, it is
important to get the facts straight to ensure that you
are not acting on the basis of bogus information.
