An interesting scenario would be competing Civgov and Milgov forces trying to interdict one another's mail services as a way of discrediting the opposing faction... Mail-Wars!
Once circuits were established, in disputed areas, it wouldn't be too difficult to establish an ambush to snap up the weekly (or whatever) mail service. In addition to the morale/PR effects of intercepting the mail, it could also be a way to glean low level intel.
In a way, it's kind of a throwback to the 19th century- like trying to intercept the enemy's mail packet (ship) during the "Age of Sail" or snaring the Pony Express courier or stagecoach in America's "Wild West".
