It is not illegal to place a letter in the mail that has not been stamped. If a letter does not contain a stamp, the postal service will return the letter to the sender with a note that says " needs stamp."

Is it legal to put unstamped mail in a mailbox?
No you can not. The mailbox is for use of official mail that has gone through a post office only. I know of some instances that a mail carrier will not take mail from a box to be mailed if it does not have the name and address of the box owner on it. Meaning that you could not put your outgoing mail in someone elses box to be picked up.

The only party that can place mail in a mail box is a United States Postal employee and you. Using a mail box for unpaid unpostaged flyers is against the law. Notice they don't let you place any flyers on the community bulletin board either. Buy a stamp! The US Postal Service regulates the type of boxes allowed. In rural area's, the placement and height of the box for accessability by the rural carrier's car is dictated by the local office. I don't know if it's illegal to place a flyer on the outside of the mail box but the inside contents are reserved for you and the mail carrier only. The flag on the box is designed to alert the mail carrier you have outgoing mail so sticking a flyer and moving the flag to secure it is tampering with the mail.
