Important Information Regarding
June Mail Manager Update
The June Mail Manager update CDs will be shipped soon.

This lookup will be performed automatically as part of the ZIP + 4® encoding process. SuiteLink will be required by the USPS® beginning August 1. If for any reason you do not want Mail Manager to begin SuiteLink processing until the required adoption date, do not install this update until you are processing mailings for August 1 or later.
