Like this? http://www.steelmailbox.com/html/dvault.html http://www.steelmailbox.com/html/dvault.html > Say if you could buy a mailbox that would scan your mail, and alert you you through an email? A larger mailbox you could lock remotely after recept of a important delivery. All that technology-stuff seems like extra complexity for little value. Why lock it remotely when you could design it with a one-way door and regular key lock and have it locked all the time? What use are the email notifications/scans of the outside of the items if you can't do anything until you're at home anyway? There might be a small amount of benefit to being notified if the mailbox has items in it to retrieve, but I'm not sure if it's enough to justify the cost and complexity of the feature.
