mail handler

Letter processing employee

A mail handler is a postal worker who processes mail in sorting facilities—loading, unloading, and moving bulk mail between trucks and processing equipment.

The term distinguishes these workers from letter carriers who deliver mail and clerks who work at service counters.

In computing, a mail handler is software that processes email messages.
