The Mail Man is an eight track EP by American rapper E-40. It was released by Sick Wid It Records on September 28, 1993, on LP and cassette. It was reissued in 1994 by Jive, following a major distribution deal earlier that year.
Some feminists critiqued the song "Captain Save a Ho," which chastizes men for taking care of a woman and children that are not his own. Davarian Baldwin notes that it portrays black women as gold-diggers who use their sexuality to take black men's meager earnings. In the pimps up, draws down bargain rappers engaged in with their groupies, to be a "Captain Save a Hoe" by parting with hard-earned dollars came to be viewed as worse than being a "mark" or a "busta". The song was praised by critics for its 1970s-sounding "radio-friendly, laid-back groove".
