I have a box, a mail box, in the front of the building. It's a place where people can leave me things when I am not there and then I can pick them up later.
This, this is not a box:

In all sincerity, what prevents you from adopting a policy along the lines of, "Work is ONLY accepted in my mailbox, period, no exceptions?" I feel your pain... it's like "What part of no don't you understand?" And why is it so many people always have a reason that SURELY qualifies as an exception? -- Feeling in a similar boat here at work.
Peg, don't get him started. His first year teaching he ran someone's project binder through the table saw to make it fit in the student mailboxes. Norm had a fit. The student thought it was amusing, I think.
Note to people who design mailboxes: WHY would you make them so that a normal 1" binder doesn't fit? There are many things in life that are reasonably put into someone's mailbox that are bigger than a US-Letter size piece of paper.
Note to people who buy mailboxes for the SOD: WHY would you purchase mailboxes that aren't big enough for the business of the school? We have lots of things to put in mailboxes that just don't fit... Like binders. And folded draftings. and small animals. well, maybe not small animals. those are best left wedged into door handles.
