I think it depends. I’ve noticed in newer developments that yes, they’ll only deliver to names of known recipients.
But I’ve also lived in old-ass places most of my life and I can’t get them to stop delivering mail for someone who hasn’t lived here in 5+ years.
My gloriously unionized USPS workers are hella pissed that I continue to write “no longer at address” on mail for the umpteen people who have previously lived where I am now. I will occasionally get mail with “or current resident” underlined many, many times because it was misdelivered and that person sent it back, and they think I tried to “no longer address” it I guess.
I lived in a newer development a few years ago and they didn’t care about names there either. Sad to hear new-new is different.
Overall, if your USPS just wants to jettison mail at an address, using a fake name is great. I get spam for shit with a fake name and I can see who sold my info (and ditch them). I get emails like “Shitbob Jimbo, we stole your identity and hacked your email and computer and it’s joever for you, believe us because we know your name.” Little do they know I’m really Jimshit Bimbo and forever elusive
