If you are trying to get the best possible rates you need a lot more than CR. You also have to have your addresses PAVE certified and CASS processed. Barcodes for labels and tray/sack tags need to be generated. Government style reports created, and sorting rules beyond measure. Just take a look at the bulk rate section of the Domestic Mail Manual at the USPS site. The USPS does provide data bases (at a subscription cost) and the software created using the tables needs to be approved by a post office testing procedure. It's all very ugly. We plan on attempting it sometime in the future but for now we use commercial software. A couple of providers are Melissa Data and Datatech Smartsoft.
If you plan to go ahead let me know as we may be able to work together as this is a future project for us also...
