I received a Christmas card for about the third year, I think based on the fact I volunteered on the campaign in 2000 (never gave money).

However I have an interesting problem, in that my address is right but it has someone else's name on it (very close alphabetically, like your name is say "Lincoln" and a card comes for "Linder" at your address). I have seen this happen before like a huge Texaco mailing about 20 years ago where the name and addreses were phase-shifted from the database lookup.

In general what are the postal regulations on this? I can't open it since it not addressed to me, and I can't find anyone in the state with that name.

I have lived where I do now, for 8 years. I STILL get mail for 4 DIFFERENT former residents (I guess they are former - I don't know the names). At first, I put them back in the mail as not being at this address. I have inadvertantly opened some. They are not personal - bulk mail out stuff.
