Remote fort doesn't get incoming mail? (7)
I believe the answer is:
outpost
'incoming mail?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'remote fort doesn't' is the wordplay.
'remote' becomes 'out' (I've seen this in other clues).
'fort doesn't' becomes 'post' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'out'+'post'='OUTPOST'
'get' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for outpost that I've seen before include "Outlying settlement" , "Small camp some distance away from the main army" , "Place of group some way from base" , "distant location" , "Remote place" .)
