Interesting Mike, I'd never seen that or read that before. 

My question is does a coworking space have to be a CMRA to handle mail or 
can we handle mail the same way an employer would? (which is typically what 
we do)

Seems excessively formal for a community. If mail was the only service we 
offer, I'd certainly understand the need.
