<upd_detl>Suggest removing [news1].  ngrams disagree, and a current search of mainichi.jp doesn't return much, except historical articles.
site:mainichi.jp "逓信"  ("about 432 articles", not much vs. [news1])

The other terms in jmdict 逓信大臣 and 逓信省 are both [hist].  Odd to suggest making an entire once-common noun [hist], but sankoku does not even have an entry for this term. 

(by comparison, sankoku does still have 逓減, for example)

The (e.g.) is already trying to point at [hist], it seems.

Still survives in place names, such as 逓信病院
https://www.hospital.japanpost.jp/about/index.html

But it doesn't mean "communications" here.  the gloss is "Tokyo Teishin Hospital". 

xref gives context for usage("dissolved in 1949", in particular), without further complicating the gloss.</upd_detl>
