That sounds alittle like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.
OK, the water is getting out after it has soaked everything that is in the
mailbox, but wouldn't it
be better, in the first place, to find out how the water is getting in and, in
the second place,
preventing it from continuing to do so?

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] mail box wet
I have noticed that after a rain, our mail box
would have a little bit of water in it. To drill
some drainage holes in the bottom of the box, i
bought a right angle drill attachment from Harbor
Freight for $18. It is made by Chicago Electric
and has a keyless chuck. Not having much room in
the box to work with, I took a nail and a small
tack hammer and made by center punch of
holes. Then, I put the attachment on my drill
and starting with a small bit, I used bigger bits
to make the holes big enough. Then, I took a
pointed grinding wheel, put that in my drill and
took care of the burs in the holes, left over
from drilling. I'm pleased with the right angle
attachment and we will see if the water drains out after the next rain.
