    I would never let my dogs roam freely so I can't imagine how they'd pose a threat to a mailman.

    Sydney and Reggie bark at them sometimes from the window but they bark at anybody, they wouldn't actually bite them. Nebo doesn't care, he doesn't bark at people, and he'd likely run away from a mailman he's usually a chicken with strangers.

    Bella and Ripley occasionally bark at the mailman if they are awake and hear his truck outside at the curb. Now the UPS man is a whole nother story! They go ballistic because someone is knocking at their door. I usually go outside on the porch to sign for any packages and I try to explain to the man that there are really only two dogs inside.

    Sounds like Delilah could use some socializing and supervision, and your mail carrier could use a new job. She is acting very childish but writing things down for you rather than talking about it like an adult. When Autumn was young I took her out each day to see the mailman so she would get used to him and let him do his job. She only runs up to him when I say its okay, she isn't allowed to run up to anybody without permission.
