Article I Section Eight of the US Constitution grants Congress the power to "establish post offices and post roads."
So I agree with the assertion that anyone trying to make the claim of being the "legitimate" government of the US would make use of this to back up their claim.
It'd probably cost more than the 42 cent stamp we have now (or is it 44 cents now?), but as others pointed out, TDM kind of put a lot of things to a halt at the 1997 level, when email was not as predominant, so the use of the USPS was still the first choice for many at that time. In the T2K universe, email is off the table, and phones for the most part also, so all that's left is the mail.
