It is unclear who produces this data; one would imagine the Moroccan post is the producer (https://www.codepostal.ma/code_postal.aspx).
The country's Open Data portal contains two datasets: the postal codes of districts (https://www.data.gov.ma/data/fr/dataset/codes-postaux-des-quartiers) and of cities (https://www.data.gov.ma/data/fr/dataset/codes-postaux-des-localites).
Update rules are unknown, thus it is unclear how up-to-date the data on data.gov.ma is. Bulk download is not available as each file needs to be downloaded individually.
Lastly, as other indicators before, the licensing is a tricky question to address: the datasets themselves are said to be under the ODbL yet the website itself carries the mention "Copyright" by the eGov unit and the 'License' page is broken. Thus, the data is considered non-open.
