text: Wow.  That must be messy.  Since you didn't reference any specific software, one can only assume that you are referring to a physical mailbox and the commercial meat product Spam.  There are a few ways to disentangle Spam from your mail box, but I would not recommend trying to eat the Spam once you have!\n\n\n1.  Spam is a relatively soft product.  You should be able to cut it off fairly easily with a sharp knife.\n\n2.  A strong jet of water from a hose should clear off any reasonable amount of Spam, including any residue left over from option 1.\n\n3.  If your mailbox is metal and not mounted on something flammable, you can burn the Spam off.  Note that Spam does not burn through, but will form a protective charred shell.  Once it cools, you should be able to brush this off easily.\n\n4.  If none of these options work, you might want to try the impractical, but thoroughly amusing method of letting a dog or similar animal at it.  If you can find a dog that will eat Spam, your only concern is that they don't eat so much at once that the animal gets sick.\n\n5.  If none of this works, it might be time for a new mailbox.
