Usage Guidelines and Requirements
The DPV ® feature has specific requirements related to the CASS™ process to ensure the validity of
the data, its security, and to guard against improper use of the feature. This section explains the
mechanisms MapMarker has in place to meet these requirements.
False-positive addresses, are addressees the USPS ® monitors to ensure users are not attempting
to create a mailing list from the DPV or LACS Link data. To protect the security of the DPV ® data, the
U.S. Postal Service ® requires that PBBI implement a stop processing sequence to shut off DPV if a
possible misuse of the DPV data is detected. This is designed to guard against users who are
attempting to create address lists with the data, rather than do true address validation.
L
Per the USPS regulations, PBBI must contact the USPS with the organization’s name and
address for every false-positive address encountered. If multiple incidents of artificial
address detection occurs, the USPS may ask PBBI to suspend a customer’s DPV or
LACS
Link processing capability.
If you encounter a false-positive, you will receive a message. Processing continues to the end of
your job, but DPV or LACSLink processing is not available. DPV or LACS
Link processing is not
available for subsequent jobs until you have reported the false-positive address encounter to PBBI
and have received a new security key.
Messages similar to the following appears when you encounter a false-positive address:
For DPV
DPV usage has been disabled because of a hit to a DPV false positive seed record. Please contact
Pitney Bowes Software Technical Support to re-enable the DPV feature.
For LACS Link
LACS Link feature has been disabled because of a hit to a LACS Link false positive seed record.
