amenity=relay_box is an in use tag similar to amenity=post_box for mapping postal boxes which are used by mail carriers to store mail between deliveries. This tag can be found on the map distinguishing Canada Post relay boxes from standard post boxes, for example.
"Relay box" is also used as a synonym for street cabinet, but these are tagged with man_made=street_cabinet, and this tag has been discouraged for mapping street cabinets.
