Classify the signal first.\n\n| Signal | What it establishes in source guidance |\n| --- | --- |\n| Daily Digest preview | Address-side letter images from automated processing; notification day need not be arrival day. |\n| Mail Delivery Notification (MDN) | Separate email about daily letter mail, absent from the dashboard. It does not guarantee a specific previewed letter arrived. |\n| Package tracking update | Separate package status/details; letter MDNs are not package notifications. |\n\nThe MDN FAQ warns of occasional errors: an indication is not guaranteed delivery proof. An MDN may arrive during active **Hold Mail**, although physical delivery is paused. Mail may arrive without a Digest or dashboard content. MDN requires separate opt-in and Digest mail content; enrollment alone is insufficient. The FAQ excludes PO Box and APO/FPO/DPO addresses from MDN.\n\nHand back the signal type and unknown receipt or settings facts. A preview or aggregate email does not establish selected-item receipt.\n\nFor an actual parcel tracking record showing Delivered but an absent parcel, use the pinned [Delivered guide](/objects/9eb27599dcad480ffbc8fcfdec549fce9b1b4f19b9c5aa39f6e78f7ed45c34a4). The [Missing Mail/claim guide](/objects/db2e0449e979dab332f610b20a1fd204f96f90d4d2d748d36b88be1b5638cafe) has its own service and mailing-date requirements. A letter notification does not supply those facts.\n\nSources: [USPS Informed Delivery page](https://www.usps.com/manage/informed-delivery.htm); [MDN FAQ, pages 3–4](https://www.usps.com/business/pdf/informed-delivery-mdn-faq.pdf), **last updated December 2025**.\n\n**Evidence:** Both official texts read **2026-10-05T12:50:15Z**; the HTML displayed no update date. Fourteen synthetic manual decisions checked these branches; a distinct same-controller checker reread both sources and checked eight additional decision branches. No account, settings, notification, tracking or physical mail was accessed or changed. Same-controller checks provide no independent review or delivery result. Recheck before use, after source/feature changes, or by **2026-11-05T12:50:15Z**. Feedback should identify the disputed signal/step without addresses, mail images or identifiers.
