See below Title 39 (US Postal Code) Section 3008

REFERENCE:PROHIBITORY ORDER

The Wikipedia entey on Prohibitory Order (United States Postal Service) states that the sender/mailer is ordered to immediately delete ... and so forth. The statute (PL 90-206) and Postal Code clearly states that the deletion should be made within 30 days after receipt of the Order, so "immediately" though it appears later in the Code, would have to be construed as within thirty days of receipt.

Secondly, Wikipedia refers repeatedly to the recipient but the law essentially refers to the addressee (or in certain cases parent, guardian, custodian thereof). I'd suggest that instead of "recipient" it would be more consistent and readable and understandable to say ADDRESSEE regarding Prohibitory Order.

§ 3008. Prohibition of pandering advertisements
(a) Whoever for himself, or by his agents or assigns, mails or causes to be mailed any pandering advertisement which offers for sale matter which the ADDRESSEE (EMPHASIS ADDED) in his sole discretion believes to be erotically arousing or sexually provocative shall be subject to an order of the Postal Service to refrain from further mailings of such materials TO THE DESIGNATED ADDRESSES (EMPHASIS ADDED) thereof.
(b) Upon receipt of notice from an addressee that he has received such mail matter, determined by the addressee in his sole discretion to be of the character described in subsection (a) of this section, the Postal Service shall issue an order, if requested by the addressee, to the sender thereof, directing the sender and his agents or assigns to refrain from further mailings TO THE NAMED ADDRESSES (EMPHASIS ADDED)(c) The order of the Postal Service shall expressly prohibit the sender and his agents or assigns from making any further mailings TO THE DESIGNATED ADDESSES, EFFECTIVE ON THE THIRTIETH CALENDAR DAY AFTER RECEIPT OF THE ORDER (EMPHASIS ADDED). The order shall also direct the sender and his agents or assigns to delete immediately the names of the designated addressees from all mailing lists owned or controlled by the sender or his agents or assigns and, further, shall prohibit the sender and his agents or assigns from the sale, rental, exchange, or other transaction involving mailing lists bearing the names of the designated addressees.
