mail hold

Postal service suspension

A mail hold is a request to the postal service to temporarily stop delivering mail to your address, typically while you're traveling or between residences.

The post office stores your mail until you return or request delivery to resume: I put a mail hold on before the vacation.

Also called a hold mail request.
