Any plans for a double mailbox setup?

Did you find any plans for dual mailboxes?
I’m also looking for a multiple mailbox setup – for five mailboxes in my case.

This looks great, but what about a mailbox post plan like this but also including a separate wood box below the metal mailbox for local newspaper deliveries (not allowed to be put in the US mailbox)?
