Exactly. No one is mentioning their country but it makes all the difference in the world.
In Switzerland, people must subscribe if they want a junk-free mailbox which costs them the equivalent of $/€ 30/year. I don’t suppose anyone is enthusiastic about paying that heafty fee, but the upside is that it works. If someone puts junk in your Swiss mailbox, it’s strictly enforced. The perp gets a fine, which I don’t recall if any of that goes toward compensating the victim.
In Belgium, it’s free to put a sticker on your mailbox. And it’s illegal for people to junk up your mailbox if you have the sticker. But it’s unenforced. So the level of junk mail drops a little with the sticker, but it never stops the flow of junk completely because everyone knows it’s unenforced.
