Sure, you can place your business card on OR in anyone's mailbox. It's the same as distributing handbills, door hangers or flyers.
You have to abide by the USPS guidelines for what you distribute - weight, content (no flammables, explosives, scheduled drugs, live animals, etc), and you also need to use reasonable judgment and not distribute anything that would get you a citation for disorderly conduct, mayhem, etc. or you'll get a citation. Don't hand out racist fliers or chain letters ;)
(chain letters -are- illegal)
Otherwise, (un)fortunately, it's fair game.

He's correct if he lives in Canada. It's perfectly leagal to do that here. Everyone is making assumptions about the question. It doesn't say America anywhere. This may be in Iceland, for all we know so it's open to interpretation, Lega
