Both addr:postal and contact:postal have a little use according to
taginfo. Neither have a wiki page to explain their use.
Given the use of the key contact: I would prefer contact:postal and
document its use on the OSM wiki.
If you want more input/ideas then contact the tagging group?

nwastra, Great question!
I'm not sure about the best answer though, as it doesn't seem to be an
issue that has come up before on the wiki or on
http://help.openstreetmap.org.
I would suggest you have two options:
1) Ask on http://help.openstreetmap.org, and see if you get anything
useful. It would be a great question to ask, as I'm sure other people
come across similar circumstances, and getting an answer somewhere
public would be good.
2) Make up a tag so that the information is in the database, and if
someone comes up with a better tagging scheme, they can change it later.
3) Do both.
For (2), I reckon contact:postal='PO Box 2323, Blahtown' would make
sense in the context of the other contact:* tags. According to
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/contact%3Apostal, it's been
used at least 175 times before, although maybe not quite in that way.

Hi
In addition to the tags like contact:phone contact:email
addr:housenumber addr:street, etc almost all businesses in
Australia that have a physical presence on the ground also have PO
Box number as part of their address and use that for their
business correspondence.
Is contact:pobox=* the correct way to tag their PO Box number?
