Do you mean PO box? In some cities, massive PO boxes have a special Zip code/ postal code. It could
be a property of the PObox address.
It is kind of a postbox, but the mail might actually still be delivered by the carrier (and not
picked from a box), and it might be even delivered to a subcontractor elsewhere who handles the
incoming mail. Again I don't see a benefit for OSM from such entries.
Maybe an attribute at the POI is right, as POI use to list email addresses and web addresses, which
are independent from actual physical address (as PO boxes are), also.
National-wide phone numbers treated (such as +1-800-x in USA, cellphones, "vocal nomad" numbers
(+34-51-xx in Spain, if I remember well) are unlinked to physical addresses too. Are they
directions about how to use it?
Simlarly, OSM is not a phone directory, or a worldwide compendium of everything. No benefit for OSM
adding those.

As these postcodes are kind of a virtual address that is not tied to a
particular pysical
location, my opinion would be _not to add them to OSM_, which is a geo
database and not
primarily a post code reference database.
Typically for those companies in DE, there is an additional physical
address which has a
different postcode for the street address, which is regularly tagged on the
physical location.
