Re: [U2] What do you do with CallHTTP? (CASS validation)
From: Glen Batchelor MelissaDATA - Data Quality Suite On one hand I'm worried about a perception of smack talking some company here, but on the other hand I feel a need to convey my experience. I have personally been affected by breach of privacy issues with MelissaDATA. They harvest and publish data that they get from any source, regardless of what they say in their privacy notices. Any data you provide to them is subject to being sold to their other customers, who then sell it to others. They do not purge personal data, even after many requests, though they say they do. So not only are they betraying confidence but they also being blatently deceptive. The complaints of one individual will not significantly affect purchase decisions for a company as prominent as this one. I'm just passing on my experience and leaving it to you to decide what to do with it.

What are you talking about If you're going to smack talk a company, provide facts and details so inquiries can be made. This isn't really the place for this anyway. For shame! I could talk smack about several people and firms I've dealt with in the MV community but I have more respect for myself and the company I work than that.

Re: [U2] What do you do with CallHTTP? (CASS validation)
MelissaDATA - Data Quality Suite http://www.melissadata.com/dqt/dataquality-suite.htm In the documentation I was sent a couple years ago, it states that you can print a CASS summary form (USPS 3553). That will probably involve a batch validation using the SOAP API. You can dump a ton of addresses in one request IIRC and when you're done with the batches you submit a request to process. I don't remember what you do from that point. You should contact someone at MelissaDATA to verify that's still valid and what's involved with getting a 3553. I am not using their services for CASS bulk mailing. A simple address look-up with DPV and residential indicator is what I'm using, which sparked the Spectrum article I wrote back in 2007/2008.
