It is actually illegal for the Mail carrier to accept any gift/tip.

No it's not. I'm a former mailman and we accepted gifts all the time. You aren't supposed to take any cash or a gift worth more than $20, but how am I supposed to know how much they paid for it? Most of the time people gave treats which was nice cause we often didn't have time to stop to eat during the busy holiday season. I do the same for my mailman.

Technically yes, but in practice the post office asks that holiday tips not exceed $20
