I don’t know where this is but it doesn’t sound impossible to me. A quick Google shows that the FDA recommends 160 F for casseroles and that in direct sunlight a car can hit 160 if the ambient temp is >105 F. I know mailboxes aren’t cars, but over a longer period in a smaller metal box, it seems like the math could check out
I live in Utah where it’s been sinfully hot and dry for the last week. I fully intend to test this theory. I just bought a high temp probe that should get here tomorrow. I will provide an update once the testing has been completed.
