A quick google search shows nothing about who owns that address and there's no other way to track it.
So, call it a loose it's gone.  Undecided

you sent them here.  https://blockchain.info/address/1PoSm5WpMBAEHJAzwJxUSSDPXBm3rHPMex If you don't know who owns this address, your pretty much out of luck, unless he contacts you wondering why you sent him the coins..

If I received some BTC by accident, how would I go about contacting the person who sent it, provided I only know the sender address?
Or vice-versa like the original post, how would I contact the person who accidentally received my funds? I don't see how could I do that based only on his/her address.

Google the address, and see if it's tied to anything identifiable; some (like me) use one main address for most of their transactions, not counting associated change addresses, and you can find it tied to my profile here. Others create an address for each use, which is harder to track but not necessary impossible.

If you receive a significant amount of coins by mistake, there will likely be a post about it either here or on Reddit, or if not then any post you make is likely to be noticed by the person who lost the coins. Just make sure they sign a message with the sending bitcoin address first, to ensure it's not someone trying to scam you out of the coins!

Not listed where? It's difficult to help without more information. However, if you don't control the address 1PoSm5WpMBAEHJAzwJxUSSDPXBm3rHPMex, it's extremely unlikely that you will be able to recover your coins from it.
