stopping mail

I received a ticket (traffic citation) in the mail for allegedly failing to stop at stop sign. I was very surprised because I was never stopped by a police officer and our town does not use traffic cameras. I did have an incident with an aggressive driver that morning though. We were both at opposite stop signs (it’s a 2 way stop) and since I was there first, I went first. The driver acted as if I had cut him off. He tailgated me, following me until I turned into a busy shopping center. I suspect that driver either took down my license plate and reported it to a policeman or was in fact an off duty policeman who wrote up the ticket the next day. I say this because the ticket lists Tuesday morning as the date of the “infraction” and the ticket issued date is listed as the following day (Wed). I’ve never known anyone to receive a traffic citation in the mail, especially without a policeman being at the scene. Has anyone experienced this? I live in MA and this doesn’t seem right to me.
