ABSTRACT:
A system added to a mailbox having a hinged door, said system exposing a visible signal when the mailbox door is opened for mail delivery and then closed. A receptacle (10), fixed in an elevated position to the side of the mailbox, or to its enclosure, holds a delivery indicator (14) which is connected to the mailbox door through a flexible connector (18), such as a monofilament plastic line, and then a fastener (22) that is fastened to the door. When the door is opened this action pulls the delivery indicator (14) free of the receptacle (10). When the door is closed the delivery indicator (14) hangs in a visible position below the mailbox.
