it is illegal to steal mail, tamper with mail, or prevent mail from being sent. it is illegal to take mail from another mail box. there is no law against opening a letter sent to your address but without your name on it. so long as you do not perform the above violations, you are within your legal right. this answer was given due to research on the federal law regarding mail tampering.
