DDUPostalCode	This property is the 9-digit zip code of the DDU Post Office. It will only be used for Standard Flat ECRRT mailings that are dropped off at the DDU.

For example:

Our Post Office in Rancho Santa Margarita has a Locale key of LOCZ22621.

• New Data file:

File Information	Description
File Name	LocaleKey.csv
File Type	Comma Delimited (.csv)
File Contents	The LocaleKey.csv will contain a list of every Post Office and its associated Locale Key.
