As they are not related to a physical address then why use the address
space?
Possibly the contact space? contact:mail:postcode=*
-----------------
I believe 1800 numbers cannot be used internationally, so I don't use
the ISD codes, that OSM requests, with these.

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.
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?

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.

Hi all,
recently I came across postal codes in POI addresses, which
aren't the classic scheme addr:postcode & addr:city &
addr:street & addr:housenumber. However it is a special
postcode that is assigned to recipients that receive a big
amount of post every day, typically big companies or
authorities. This kind of postcode is used only together with
addr:city and does not require street and housenumber. So to
say the post company has a big sack for post to that special
postcode, puts in all the letters that are addressed to it and
delivers the sack to the recipient.
After some discussion in the german user forum
https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=60421
<https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=60421> I
want to propose a tag for this kind of postcode and would like
to discuss it here in the tagging mailing list.
The proposal is: addr:postcode_major_recipient
It should be used on POIs, because it is an attribute of the
company, authority or whatever, but not as an address of a
building, because it is not assigned to such directly. Target
is to have a separate tag for this kind of postcode to avoid a
mix-up with the normal addr:postcode.
As I am not a native British English speaker, I have asked one
and consulted the english page of the Deutsche Post.
Reference:
https://www.postdirekt.de/plzserver/PlzSearchServlet?lang=en_GB
<https://www.postdirekt.de/plzserver/PlzSearchServlet?lang=en_GB>
-> goto More -> Find major recipient
Probably similar kinds of postcodes exist also in other post
companies in other countries, so inputs about that are welcome.
Best regards,
Rainer
