Yes it is. Like if you order something and its at the post office they can give lets say 5 days and if you don't pick it up between their time frame than they will send it back. They don't want to hold mail for very long.:-):-D
You will need to contact the sender with your new address.
Return to sender
they cannot do that it is illegal! if There is any problem they will send it back to the sender. if there is no sender address, than they will hold it for some time! if no one claims it, it will be destroyed.
My method was to write, "Return to sender: not at this address" on the mail, and put it back in the mailbox for the mail carrier to pick up and take.Added: Or go to the local Post Office from which your mail carrier operates and speak to the Counter Clerk or Postmaster.

If you have had a piece of mail that was addressed to you be marked as undeliverable, you may want to contact your local post office. Once you contact them, they should be able to tell you if they are still holding the mail or if they have returned it to the sender.
Write on the envleope "Not at this address - Return to Sender" and out back in mailbox for return.
You could but I wouldn't recommend it. Best to write "return to sender" and put it back in the mail.
If you need to forward mail to someone who no longer lives at your address, you can write "Return to Sender – No Longer at This Address" on the envelope and put it back in the mailbox. Alternatively, you can contact your local post office and provide them with the person's new address so they can redirect the mail accordingly.
I've read on other sites that you can write "No longer at this address" on the letter and it will be returned to the post office and usually, if the previous tenant left the post office a forwarding address, they will forward it on, otherwise it will be sent back to the sender.
Contact the sender with you new address and fill out a change of address card at the Post Office.
It will be returned to the sender marked either 'refused' or 'undeliverable'. The sender than has to persue other options for delivery, such as hiring a professional process server if this is a legal summons, for instance.
