The USPS will continue to provide Electronic Mailing Data (EMD) information to Confirm subscribers through March 14, 2010.  Originally slated to be discontinued as of today, Confirm users and prospects have been able to convince the USPS that they find the scan information valuable and use the information in their business processes.  EMD information gives mailers another point of reference as to where in USPS supply chain their mail shipments are.  We will continue to educate and lobby the USPS to provide the EMD scan information as long as possible, at least until there is a viable alternative to accessing the information in another manner.
