I'm sorry, but you simply don't comprehend the problem.  Having mail
from the same postal address might be perfectly OK -- my wife lives with
me, after all.  But so does my canary, and my dog, and maybe 15
imaginary people.  All of them can have email addresses and legal postal
addresses.  A legal postal address is essentially no protection against
fraud.
