Similiar to email filters, does Lemmy know of any IRL tips to filter out junk mail? (sh.itjust.works)

Title.

This applies to all countries, but please state where you are from to avoid confusion.

With the amount of junk mail people get weekly, I was curious if there are ways you can block, remove or filter the actual mail from ever getting to your mailbox.

I’ve taken the time to annoy the senders. If they come with a prepaid “business reply mail” envelope you can use this in two ways:

rip up everything except the envelope into small pieces. Put that into the envelope and mail it back to them.
if you’re dedicated: get a box and fill it with bricks. Tape the envelope on the box and mail it back to them.

They have to pay the postage either way, but one will cost a lot more than the other.
