	I think that only RD mailboxes (the ones by the side of the road)
	are regulated.  For home mail delivery, any old mailbox will do
	if you can get the mailman to use it.

	I recommend getting a mail slot for the door.  I bought a big
	wide mail slot door (spring loaded extruded aluminum) and have
	had very little trouble keeping mail out of the rain.  If you
	go out of town for a few days, no one can tell because the
	mail doesn't accumulate outside.
