In Response To: ANOTHER READER SENDS INFO ON RED/BLUE MAILBOX STICKERS (RMNMailbag)

Actually the dots are used by the uniformed letter carriers to signify which house is a good delivery (blue) a foward (red) or to hold their mail (green) I'm a rural carrier and we sort the mail in office where the dots are located.. The city carriers bring most of their letters straight to the street without casing it so they don't have the luxury of knowing what to forward, kill, deliver or hold. The dot system is basically for the subs who may have never delivered the route before..
