What do you mean by notes? Un wanted love letters, general mail, spam, harassment, death threats. Depending on WHAT is being placed in your mailbox will determine whether it is legal or not.

Is against the law to block a residential mailbox?

The presence of a mailbox does not make parking in front of it illegal. Whether you can park there legally or not usually depends on whether or not it would be a legal area to park if the mailbox weren't there. This is generally speaking, and is not to say that there won't be places where local ordinance prohibits it.Additional Info: US Postal regulations do not require a postal carrier to deliver mail to a blocked mailbox. If the curbside box cannot be reached from their vehicle they are not required to dismount to place the mail into the box when/if it is obstructed.

As far as the mail is concerned - it is covered by US Statute and it is illegal for anyone to take anyone's mail out of the mailbox for any purpose. In fact it is even illegal to place anything into a mailbox that was not delivered by the US Mail - the Post Offcie can and many times demanded that postage be paid on those items. What do you mean by "hold" their mail? Either you live somewhere or you don't.

Can you place advertisements on the post supporting a mailbox?

If it is yours then yes, but if it is not I would ask the person who owns the mailbox, or you could put it inside the mailbox if it is not yours. Wrong: As a letter carrier, I can tell you that you are absolutely not allowed to place anything in someone else's mailbox unless you are an official letter carrier. Advertisements, etc. that are placed in mailboxes without postage and not by a letter carrier, are removed from the mailboxes by the letter carrier and turned in to postal management. The violator may be billed for postage for the entire route where the advertisements were found.
