Tag the "address of the building" on the building, not the box.
In the UK a Royal Mail postbox carries a reference number - displayed on it - consisting of the first part of the post code plus a serial number. When I feel keen I tag this as ref=*. I think this thread started in a different country ... Do mailboxes there carry any reference that could be used instead of an address. If the local system is to use a street address as the official mailbox reference I could see a case for using this as ref=* for the mailbox and leaving the address tag for the building. Any help?
