slightly unrelated, I've been experimenting with using Lob's mailing API to send in real life ddoss attacks of people's mail services. While this is really expensive, sending roughly 1 million letters/postcards in one batch will set you back ~500k, it will lead the USPS sending a pallet of mail onto the porch of someone you hate. Spread out the sends a bit and you get so many wads of mail that the USPS comes awfully close to just putting you on a do not mail list. Not getting election mail, medicine, important notices, package deliveries, getting marked as undeliverable on their address verification service etc it can become quite annoying.
It was the one feature I never got full buy in when working there, but if anyone has half a mil to spare, you can run some very fun experiments with mail.
