I have taken the key to ACE Hardware, Lowe's, Home Depot, and to a locksmith. None of them would copy the key. Amazon does not sell the key blank. As I understand it, official U.S. mail can only be deposited in a Federal mailbox.

Not all the postal keys are what you described. Our first two homes they were.
Our current mailbox key (third home) looks like the image I posted .
Anyone that has such a key type CAN get them copied at ACE or anywhere that has the blanks .
I have copied dozens of such keys while working at the ACE at Southern Trace Plaza
These “blanks” have no USPS markings of any kind and can be bought in bulk for about $2.50 each.
