AccuZIP DQ Guidance

This command should be run after validation on every address list, as it is intended to allow you to analyze address validation results and make the best decisions for you and your client when it comes to whether or not you'll suppress addresses that were flagged as deliverable and undeliverable as a result of address validation.

To this command, you can add extra lines that would allow you to delete records (for example, you can automatically delete and pack records when the recommendation is to suppress them from the mailing.
