Tech Support Q&A: What does ‘List Status’ in Interlink Circulation mean?

Q:  What does ‘List Status’ in the bottom left hand corner of Interlink Circulation mean?

A:  List Status describes a series of stages to assist you in understanding your level of readiness in meeting Full-Service Intelligent Mail requirements.  These requirements take effect Jan. 26, 2014, and they must be met to receive automation rates, i.e., discounted postage rates.  With List Status, you can easily view your current level of readiness, and see what steps need to be taken to be Full-Service ready by the January deadline.
