I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'like the junk mail the postman' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'without knocking?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'without' could be 'not' and 'not' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'delivers' is the link.
