[. . . ] You tell Postalsoft how to distinguish subscribers from non-subscribers in your mailing list. You can tell Postalsoft that none or all of the list is subscribers. You can also designate a special field for tracking subscribers. If you select Count Over in Field or Count Under in Field, and if the specified field is empty or contains N for a particular record, the record is not considered a subscriber. If the field contains anything else, then the record is considered a subscriber.
Subscriber option Description
Subscribers
All None
Assumes all of the recipients are subscribers. Assumes that none of the recipients are subscribers. Less than ten percent of the total are eligible for the classroom and nonprofit rates. All non-subscriber pieces under ten percent can be mailed separate from the Periodicals mailing. Postalsoft counts any non-subscribers as being over the ten percent limit. Non-subscriber pieces over ten percent cannot be mailed in a separate mailing. They must be commingled and presorted with the subscriber or requester copies. If your job is class room or non-profit, Postalsoft prints all non-subscribers on a separate Postage Statement. If Postalsoft doesn't find classroom or non-profit rates, it prints one Postage Statement and lists the non-subscribers in the ">10%" column Postalsoft counts any non-subscribers as being under the ten percent limit. All non-subscribers are reported on the same Postage Statement as subscribers.

Mailing information
The mailing information that you enter in the Sort for Mailing - Mailing Information window is needed for several reports, including the Postage Statement, which you present to the post office where you deposit your mail.
Estimated mailing date
You must enter the date that you expect to submit your mailing at the postal facility. The mailing date is crucial in determining which facilities are valid for your mailing. If you are dropping mail at multiple entry points, enter your estimated mailing date in the Sort for Mailing - Mailing Information window; do not leave the mailing date blank. After you choose the entry points, you can enter specific dates for each individual entry point in the Entry Point Details window if needed. If you're mailing First Class or you're dropping at a small facility (one that is not a BMC, ASF, SCF, or ADC), your mailing is not eligible for destination discounts. Therefore, you can leave the estimated mailing date blank. The estimated mailing date is printed on the postage statement. If you do not enter an estimated mailing date in the software, then the date will not be printed on your postage statement, and you will need to fill it in by hand.
Move-update method
You can indicate your move-update method while setting up a presort job, in the Sort for Mailing - Mailing Information window. The method you indicate will be printed on your Postage Statement to show the USPS that you have the most upto-date name and address information.
