Hi sfadm,

Take a look at this document which contains validation rules for postal codes: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=fields_useful_validation_formulas_account_address.htm&type=5

Too long didn't read version: You can go as simple as checking the formatting of the postal code field, or as crazy as creating and validating against a custom setting that contains all the zip codes for US states and territories.

When you create the validation rule, you'll want to set the error message on the field level.  If you're unfamiliar with validation rules, be sure to check out the following Trailhead module: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/modules/point_click_business_logic/units/validation_rules

Cheer,
- James
