1. A method for context-sensitive delivery notification, the method comprising: detecting, by a first delivery-sensing depository incorporating a first mailbox and at least one first sensor adapted to detect the delivery of parcels, a delivery of a first parcel in the mailbox, using the at least one first sensor;transmitting, by the first delivery-sensing depository, information indicating the detection to a computing device;receiving, by the computing device, from at least one second delivery-sensing depository incorporating a second mailbox and at least one second sensor adapted to detect the delivery of parcels, an indication that the at least one second delivery-sensing depository has detected at least one second delivery of a second parcel using the at least one second sensor;calculating, by the computing device, a probable route of a postal carrier making the at least one second delivery at the at least one second delivery-sensing depository, the probable route including the location of the first delivery-sensing depository and the location of the at least one second delivery-sensing depository;predicting, by the computer device, using the calculated probable route, a delivery time at the first delivery-sensing depository;determining, by the computing device, that the detected delivery occurred at a time differing from the predicted delivery time; andalerting, by the computing device, a user regarding the detected delivery. 2. A method according to claim 1, further comprising capturing, by the first delivery-sensing depository, using the at least one first sensor, data concerning a postal carrier performing the detected delivery. 3. A method according to claim 2, further comprising: receiving, by the computing device, at least one instruction describing a feature of a postal carrier associated with a dangerous parcel;determining, by the computing device, that the captured data matches the feature; andalerting, by the computing device, the user that the parcel may be dangerous. 4. A method according to claim 1, further comprising capturing, by the first delivery-sensing depository, using the at least one first sensor, data concerning a delivery vehicle performing the detected delivery. 5. A method according to claim 4, further comprising: receiving, by the computing device, at least one instruction describing a feature of a delivery vehicle associated with a dangerous parcel;determining, by the computing device, that the captured data matches the feature; andalerting, by the computing device, the user that the parcel may be dangerous. 6. A method according to claim 1 further comprising: capturing, by the first delivery-sensing depository, data regarding a delivered parcel; andalerting, by the computing device, the user responsively to the captured data. 7. A method according to claim 6, wherein capturing further comprises capturing, using a camera coupled to the first delivery-sensing depository, an image of the parcel. 8. A method according to claim 6, wherein capturing further comprises determining, using a scale coupled to the first delivery-sensing depository, the mass of the parcel. 9. A method according to claim 6, wherein capturing further comprises scanning, using a code scanner coupled to the first delivery-sensing depository, a code attached to the parcel. 10. A method according to claim 6, wherein alerting the user responsively to the captured data further comprises providing the captured data to the user. 11. A method according to claim 6, wherein alerting the user further comprises: receiving, by the computing device, at least one instruction describing a feature associated with a dangerous parcel;determining, by the computing device, that the captured data matches the feature; andalerting, by the computing device, the user that the parcel may be dangerous. 12. A method according to claim 6, wherein alerting the user further comprises: receiving, by the computing device, at least one instruction describing a set of features associated with safe parcels;determining, by the computing device, that the captured data does not match any feature of the set of features; andalerting, by the computing device, the user that the parcel may be dangerous. 13. A method according to claim 12, wherein the set of features is a set of codes, and determining further comprises scanning a code attached to the parcel and comparing the scanned code to each code in the set of codes. 14. A system for context-sensitive delivery notification, the system comprising: at least one delivery-sensing depository incorporating a mailbox and at least one first sensor adapted to detect the delivery of parcels, the at least one delivery-sensing depository configured to transmit information indicating the detection; anda computing device configured to receive the transmitted information, to receive, from at least one second delivery-sensing depository incorporating a second mailbox and at least one second sensor adapted to detect the delivery of parcels, an indication that the at least one second delivery-sensing depository has detected at least one second delivery of a second parcel using the at least one second sensor, to calculate a probable route of a postal carrier making the at least one second delivery at the at least one second delivery-sensing depository, the probable route including the location of the first delivery-sensing depository and the location of the at least one second delivery-sensing depository to predict by the computer device, using the calculated probable route, a delivery time at the first delivery-sensing depository, to determine that the detected delivery occurred at a time differing from the predicted delivery time, and to alert a user regarding the detected delivery. 15. A system according to claim 14, further comprising at least one user-interfacing device. 16. A system according to claim 14, wherein the delivery-sensing depository further comprises a solar power source.
