A friend of mine had his mail redirected from the house him and his (now) ex-wife and son used to live in. After a year he let the redirection end and thought nothing of it.

Now (three years later) it transpires she's had some post for his son who dosn't live with either of them any more and she telephoned him about its contents (they're still in touch because of their own kid).

So what's the law regarding postal redirections and opening other people's mail? She's a bit of a nutjob and over the years since they parted ways, she seems to have a "sixth sense" about things she shouldn't know anything about.

My mate suspects she may be getting his post as well as that of his son by doing a bit of dodgy redirection.

What's the best way forward? Can the post office divulge if his and his son's post is being delivered to the ex? And if she's applied for it, is there a case to answer?
