that's not for PO Box numbers. I couldn't tell you what it's for but it's not PO Box #s. BTW, it is entirely possible to have 12345-6789, contrary to what's been said by the OP.

If you were to go to the Schenectady Post Office and get the PO Box numbered 6789 then your mailing address would be:

I've seen a lot of mailing addresses where the P.O. Box # matches the 12345-xxxx number - I think the number is supposed to be a routing code of some kind.

From Wiki:
A ZIP+4 code uses the basic 5-digit ZIP plus an additional 4-digits to identify a geographic segment within the 5-digit delivery area, such as a city block, a group of apartments, an individual high-volume receiver of mail, or any other unit that could use an extra identifier to aid in efficient mail sorting and delivery.
For Post Office boxes, the general (but not invariable) rule is that each box has its own ZIP+4 code. The add-on code is often either the last four digits of the box number or 0 plus the last three digits of the box number. However, there is no uniform rule, so the ZIP+4 code must be looked up individually for each box.

Interesting... didn't know that. What's more interesting is that a friend of mine happens to be a postmaster at a local post office, and one night when he was discussing the way that Zip+4 worked (yeah, we were bored...), he never mentioned that PO boxes sometimes get their own +4 code. I wonder if he knows that...

If you pay attention to addresses where you send rebates you'll notice most of them are the zip plus the P.O. Box as the 4 digit extension. That's how I figured it out.
