Lots of mail for our previous tenant (which was getting forwarded easily enough before) showing up at our place, with the usual mail dropped in a pile inside the door on weekends (the weekend person doesn't have keys for our mailbox or doesn't care) but the forwarding issue is new..
In that case it would have been January, not now. Wikipedia says 1 year, I haven't yet found info on usps, even on the page for mail forwarding, and I've gotten mail from addresses I left 2-3 years ago, amazingly enough. I just think that the summer help started and people aren't paying attention :)

I think maybe you can also pay extra postage to have mail forwarded...I think that applies to bulk mail.
