I would think if you are being served you have to actually give it to the person or a person you know will give them the documents (ie wife). I would think the address means nothing. I know there are rule are rules for serving but I don't know them offhand. I remember few months after I moved into my house some guy came by to serve the previous owner with some papers and I told them they no longer live here and he left.
Leaving the documents at a residents just because the address is on the papers I would think mean absolutely nothing. I think some one is jsut being lazy because they don't know where to do next.
I probably would have told the guy to keep the papers because I don't want to get involved.
