That sounds amazing! You can get a PO Box at a USPS location and then creep on everybody else's PO Box mail???

They shut down the test after I pointed this out to them, but had I not they were completely unconcerned. At the time it was called "Real Mail Notification", so hopefully they have fixed the issue with this new iteration.
They don't seem to have fixed it. From their FAQ:

Is Informed Delivery® available to PO Box® customers?

USPS® is looking to expand the service to PO Box customers in the future. PO Box customers in certain Post Offices nationwide can use our existing Real Mail Notification® service to receive a text-only message without images, via email or SMS message. Check with your local Post Office for more details.

Good to know. Thanks.
