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.

Simlarly, OSM is not a phone directory, or a worldwide compendium of everything. No benefit for OSM 
adding those.
