In the US the situation is a little different. It is actually illegal for
anyone but a Canada Post employee/contractor to put anything in your PO
box, so that wipes out the junk jobbers. You also have the legal right to
tell the local postmaster that you will not accept any mail not addressed
to you by name.  

I haven't received any personalized junk mail in over a year, so  that 
would be fine for me.
