I have not heard of this, but would be glad to look into it. As I undersstand 
the rules, the mail must be delivered to the box number, no matter what name is 
on it. For instance, do you ever get mail addressed to "occupant" or "box 
holder".? Those certainly are NOT your name and they come through. I will ask 
at my local mail office and see what they have to say about this. Someone else 
had a similar problem last year, and it was a?case of the postmistress having a 
grudge against this artist for some reason. Odd.

Subject: (",) PO Box - no pseudonyms







I went to go open a new PO Box and the clerk made me bring all sorts of 
documentation of 
ID and proof of home address. She then explained to me that mail can only be 
sent to the 
registered legal name of the box holder and that I could not recieve mail 
addressed to a 
psuedonym. Psuedonyms being common in mail art, you know. I guess if you 
already have a 
PO Box you can do it, but since 9/11 any new PO box has to stick to the rules.

Anyone have experience with this?
