Answers.Text: Thanks Pete, I changed it to Search Builder.
  @ParthibarajRajasekar: You would use the Include-Exclude Search (yoururl.org/civicrm/contact/search/custom?csid=4&reset=1), include your main group(s) and exclude your "no postal address group". The result would then be all contacts taht match your main group's criteria minus those without a postal address. If you make the groups smart, you do not have to build the search again every time you use it.

  You can use the search builder to search for empty fields, e.g. Steet-Address or ZIP Code. From the result, you could create a (smart) group and then exclude contacts in that group from the mailing.
