USPS has been taking pictures of every piece of mail that passed through their systems for quite some years, now they are just offering the feature to users.

They'll send you a picture of your mail that's being delivered that day to your email or something.

This is a voluntary service. Whatever they do to try to stop drugs obviously doesn't work, judging by the success rate of orders.
