I had a similar experience after moving a year ago. I kept receiving the emails for mail going to my previous address.

This was despite my having filed a change of address.

I suggested that this was a privacy problem and was told that it was my responsibility to stop the emails if I didn’t want to continue receiving them. After two or three more back-and-forth emails I still had absolutely no acknowledgement from them that this is a problem.



It isn’t a problem.

The outer envelope isn’t private by design and law. It’s metadata that is open to whomever sees it.
