We used to have brick monstrosity built before we moved here. It was leaning over and was in the middle of the frontage, and we also wanted to get two parking spaces. So I put in a new steel post and box at the edge of the driveway.

If you live where it snows, mailboxes are supposed to break away if the plow hits them. I am a member of a metal working forum where some people living in a rural environment get their mail boxes bashed by vandals. One of the members makes boxes out of heavy enough steel that anyone going at it with a bat is going to get hurt instead. It's on a breakaway arm so that the snow plow only makes it swing if it gets hit. It can then be put back in position, or maybe return by itself.
