Send Mail.dat Files to Logistics Company - Description
This option sends jobs to LSC to perform postal optimization. For King, they need the Mail.dats to be aware of the jobs they will ship. All logistics companies or carriers will need to provide you with the steps required to ship with them.
If a carrier can provide you with an SFTP, you can send them Mail.dats.
