If it's a bill you need to have it in the mailbox by the 16th or begginning of the 17th so they can stamp it it for example look at a letter and over the mailing stamp there is a stamp of the date that is the postmark this way they wont charge you for a late fee or say you did not send it on time.

This means the date the post office puts on the stamp. Look at a old letter and you should see a red circle near the stamp. The post office put it there and there should be a date inside the circle and that is the postmark which means the date the post office recieved that piece of mail.

It means you need to get the letter to the post by that date.
A postmark is a postal marking made on a letter indicating the date and time that the item was delivered into the care of the postal service. It serves as a proof of mailing on that date and if the document had to reach only within a timeframe, it would help to show that it was delayed at the post - not by you!

The letter must be mailed out by the post office by the postmark deadline. It does not mean that it must arrive at the destination by that deadline. If it's an important document, you might consider sending the letter by certified mail, so you have proof when you mailed it.

The post office needs to have it stamped by March 17th. You can take the letter to the post office the day of the 17th, wait in line, and have it stamped or you can send it early.

It means that it has to be in the post office and stamped by them by that date.
If you really need to prove it easily you can bring it into the post office on time and ask them to specifically put a time-stamp onto the front of the item to clearly show when it was in the post office for their delivery.

It needs to be received by the postal service on that date. If you mail it on March 15, that's OK. If you mail it on March 18, it won't be OK. If you mail it on March 17, it may or may not be OK, depending on the last time the mail is picked up for that area.
It's a timestamp.

That just means you need to get your mail sent out by that date so that it is marked by the post office that day.
