Kathy Ehrensperger, Paul and the Dynamics of Power: Communication and Interaction in the Early Christ-Movement (LNTS 325; London: T&T Clark, 2007).
Reviewed by Thomas R. Blanton IV at RBL: http://www.bookreviews.org/pdf/6503_7033.pdf
The book doesn't seem to mention letter-carriers (based on the review); but in treating the relationship between Paul and his addressees in an apparently nuanced manner (so Blanton) it looks like a useful resource.
