Does US Postal Service have literature re opening another's mail box or tampering with mail?

Check their official website. It is a Federal crime to take anything out of another's mailbox, unless you are expressly permitted by the owner of the box to do so. Tampering with mail of others, even if it is sent to you by mistake, is also a crime. That goes for Postal Employees and civilians. If you have a newspaper box attached to your mailbox, it is not illegal to put things in it.
