In December, the USPS ordered a Houston-area apartment community to provide a list of each of its residents and their mailbox numbers to the local postmaster postmaster - The electronic mail contact and maintenance person at a site connected to the Internet or UUCPNET. Often, but not always, the same as the admin. The Internet standard for electronic mail (RFC 822) requires each machine to have a "postmaster" address; usually it is or face suspended mail delivery. Because of NAA/NMHC advocacy, the USPS withdrew the order. Additionally, the USPS has agreed to review a regulation that, under some circumstances, authorizes postmasters to request such information from apartment operators. That provision is now under review by USPS attorneys. Also last month, a Los Angeles apartment community was ordered to replace its mailboxes or face suspension of mail delivery. The garden-style property had no room to install larger mailboxes. After discussions with USPS officials, NAA/NMHC secured another victory on behalf of the apartment industry and the order was retracted re·tract v. re·tract·ed, re·tract·ing, re·tracts v.tr. 1.
