Or I could periodically run your list through our software for a
small fee :)
On the bright side though, Not only would I be able to fix the case
to how you want it, Even with all those dutch names I see around me
at least. But I could verify that the address exists and is valid.
Even run it through the national change of address database to get
the most up to date address :)

Jason:
That sounds like a excellent service.
I don't have any mailing databases myself, but a few of my clients
have -- how much?
I'll keep the idea in mind when talking to them.
Hey tedd,
It normally costs $62/thousand for our CASS software and NCOA. CASS is
what will verify the address is a correct address, and NCOA is the
National Change of Address Database which will give you the most
current address (Assuming the people filed a change of address) and
that database goes back 5 years and it will link all the addresses
changes that it can. So if you moved 3 times in 5 years and filed the
change of address each time, it will follow through all of that to get
to the current address.
And while I'm spamming the list with what we can do... We can also
send out mail merge letters for cheaper then 42¢ per piece... But then
again, we can do that with all kinds of mail. We estimate postage
starting at .258¢ per piece. In some cases, the right organization can
get postage down to 6.6¢ each.
Now before I get in trouble, if anyone wants more info please feel
free to contact me off list with any questions or to get a quote.

My personal feelings are that the US Postal Service and the US
Military are the only parts of the US government that actually work.
