I know this is an older message, but I was working on another
project and am just getting to some older email.
You can check address directly on the Post Office website. I
use a macro that runs in iMacros (http://www.iopus.com/). It reads a CSV file
of address and then returns a valid address, or an error for an address that
can't be found, to another CSV file. This is not a 100% automated solution,
but with some work it could be. The macro I use is below.
Thanks,
Jason

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Address checker broken
Good morning
I have used a program to find zipcodes by address for 5 or 6 years it was/is
called address checker. I have used it in an eep that captured the street
address and returned the proper name and zipcode. I actually learned of the
program through the rbase list . It seems that the program addrchek.exe does
not work anymore.
I was wondering if anyone has another option ?
