No one, or no-one sane, without scales, body armor and insensitivity to heat, pressure, and blinding liquid poisons; no one except someone like that, would mess with the Postmaster.

consider:

Throughout the course of the 16th century, the Taxis dynasty was entrusted as the imperial courier of the Holy Roman Empire and in the Spanish Netherlands, Spain, and Burgundy. In 1595, Leonhard I von Taxis was the empire's Postmaster General. Beginning in 1615, the office of Postmaster General of the Imperial Reichspost became hereditary under Lamoral I von Taxis. In 1650, the house was permitted with imperial authorization to rename itself from the House of Tassis (Taxis) to the House of Thurn and Taxis (from the French Tour et Taxis). It was able to maintain the Imperial Reichspost in competition with Europe's post offices.

Upon the death of Karl Anselm on 13 November 1805, the office of Postmaster General was inherited by his son, Karl Alexander, 5th Prince of Thurn and Taxis.

and thus, therefore and so on, which is why Postmasters are what they are, if anything.

Which is not to say (you) are not correct, or partly correct, and also wrong, or partly wrong in an oscillating uncharacterized way.
