Mail volume is checked once a year for rebalancing mailboxes on routes among an office's employees. The volume on a route during mail count also affects salary, even though it varies throughout the year. So yes, less spam mail does impact the post person, though it'd have to be on a much larger scale to be significant and occur during mail count season (spring time iirc). I doubt it's specifically because of less postage being collected from less mail, but it does match proportionally how much mail a mail carrier delivers and how many units are on their route.
