Would you read / inspect each letter going out? What would stop a bad guy from sending a threatening letter to the President using a fake name and return address? It'd be postmarked outside of their actual city, with no link back to them unless you're logging IPs.

We value security and privacy and no letter is read. We can track payments through credit cards so the sender is not anonymous.

Prepaid cards are rejected?

Aren't there already remailing services at cities with interesting names? I wouldn't think this could be worse.

I also wouldn't think it would be worse than the drop-off boxes at post offices. Sure those have a known physical location, but that just means you go slightly out of your way next time you leave town for a big football game or whatever.
