That's a peculiarity of the US postal system. Here in the UK it matters not a jot
where the letter is posted from it could eve be posted from within Europe with a UK
stamp. The obligation remains - the postman might mak you hand over additional payment
for excess charges.
It's only a metaphor, email doesn't use vans, trains or planes either.
