Actually, that's what I was thinking of doing at the time. I wanted to set a 4" steel tube into a couple feet of concrete, and then fill it with concrete, and my mother in law was advised by a lawyer not to do it due to potential liability issues.
But now that I think about it, it may have been because of the type of mailbox I was planning on using. It was one of those one piece plastic mailboxes that is designed to slide over a wood post, therefore the steel one would be concealed. That's probably what the legal hangup was.
