This might be obvious but I don't remember it mentioned, the USPS has a
webservice to validate addresses. It's free to sign up for the
service. I'm not sure if there are limits but I worked for a company
and they were doing several vaidations per hour, and then printing
mailing labels for USPS pre-paid shipping. Might be worth a look.

There's a gazillion web services available for cleaning up US postal

project where they're using a service called Trillium and I'm less than
thrilled with the quality of cleanup.
I'm also curious if anyone can share their experience using the
Business Edition of the Google MAP API for this type of task. I know
this sounds like overkill (and I don't need the maps), but when I
passed some random Trillium cleaned up addresses to Google Maps, I
ended up with higher quality address data based on double checking the
addresses against the company's own websites.
Thanks!
