The word in Spain for mailbox is BUZÓN
the phrase should then read:
"LA CASA DEL BUZÓN TORCIDO".
CAJA is simply the word for box
Buzón is mailbox.... but the word for MAIL itself is Correo
and a postoffice would be:
Oficina de Correos.
Mailboxes, even private ones often have the word CORREO stamped on the front...

Both preceding answers are wrong. I tried to find the word for 'mailbox' for WEEKS while living in Buenos Aires, because I couldn't find the mailbox for my apartment.
There was none, and I learned that there is no word for 'mailbox' in Spanish.
The translations you got give the word for 'box' which is a totally different concept.
Sorry.

Ask the man who mows your lawn.
No wait that won't work, he doesn't speak English.
