Apparently there is such a thing as an “employee generated change of address” that can be used to return mail to the sender through the automatic forwarding system. For rural routes the carrier is supposed to put a card requesting the names of addresses when someone news moves in. I’m not sure what they do with this info but I think they can potentially do something with mail not addressed to your while casing their mail. I overheard someone being told to put a card in the box about the issue and if that didn’t work to come back and they would enter a COA. But my own post office didn’t seem to know that option and just said to tape a paper on the box door saying “only deliver for X.”
