1. Check with state law/local law. You may have to have a breakaway post.
2. If no breakaway post is required. Then...
3. Make a setup like you described with steel post. Set back from the road. I have seen where a guy used a large old tractor tire in the ground with the mailbox on top of the tire. I have also seen a large coil spring put in the ground and the box mounted on top of the spring.
4. Or....save all the hassle and get a PO box like I did 5 years ago.
If the road commision hits your "all steel" mailbox with the plow blade while plowing snow you might have to pay for damages. Just a thought there.
My neighbor made a large all tube steel with channel iron set up to hold 5 mailboxs, this was put in 3 years ago. Well a few weeks back some guy ran into it and you can see pieces of the car laying in the grass off the road, jolted the 5" sq. beams out of the ground too.....Oops.
The PO box at the post office works for me, my mail is safe, at $35 per year.
