Man, I've been searching for this (but I live in Europe, so across country borders, there is no hope unfortunately).

Instead what USPS could do is actually scan all this stuff and email me a PDF. 80% of the snail mail I receive I don't need to have physically anyways. For those pieces that need physical delivery -> check a checkbox and USPS could send it to my current address. (Notice how that also solves the addressing indirection?)

I'd love this too. A bit of clicking around discovered a company in the UK that does this, but it couldn't look more shady [1].

I'd happily pay USPS $50 a year for such a service, which is certainly a lot more than they'll get in stamps from me.
