Good set up Jim, being on the porch undercover.
I've got a big mailbox and if the truck is far enough away to fully swing the door I doubt the mailman could reach the back of the box. I attached a clip like the kind on employee badges to the inside of the door to hold outgoing so he opens the door and it's right there. Still have to use the flag to let him know in case there's no incoming. But quite often if it's something that isn't pressing I don't even bother with the flag. He's a nice guy and I try to make it as easy as I can for him. I figure if he likes me maybe he'll not deliver some bills.
