In the US that we know about.
I would not be surprised if there is some country that has a facial recognition camera network faced at mailboxes these days.

Yes, the UK has a lot of CCTs. But that's relatively new, and certainly after the idea that the Internet should allow anonymous or pseudonymous use.
Even then, here is literally the first post box I found looking in the UK, in a small town: https://www.google.com/maps/@52.0936599,0.0761217,3a,75y,165... . No CCT in sight, no power, good solid iron.
Plus, think of how difficult it is to match a person to the physical envelope.
At best there could be a distinctive envelope.
Otherwise, yes, you can get a list of people who use the box. But for that to be useful, the mail from different boxes can't simply be jumbled together into the same pickup bag as that would broaden the number of suspects.
People have been able to write anonymous letters and send them through the mail for a long time. Still can.
No one checks my id before I stick an envelope in the mail box.
