1. I receive emails without zip codes. Can I find the zip / zip+4 without recontacting the emailer?

2. I receive an email and a zip. Validating email domain is easy. Can I also validate the zip / zip+4
 
Can you be more specific about the zip codes?

Most e-mail has only e-mail addresses no zip codes.

Are these zip codes on contact data?

much luck

 
I will be receiving thousands of emails. But, for example, with AOL.com, the domain is owned by AOL, and the AOL domain is zip code 20166, Dulles Virginia. My email address:
myadconcept@aol.com with that zip code would fail based on the zip of the domain. I am located in New York City. Is there a way to get the area code from the dial-up (always local) and have that lead me to the zip or better zip+4?
 
I'm still not clear what zip has to do with e-mail.

I know that when one registers a domain a name and address is required, but zip codes are not universal. Here in the U.S. there is a 5+4 code Canada uses a completely different 3 letter 3 number system etc., etc., etc.

Can you perhaps give a better example of exactly what you are trying to accomplish?
