The U.S. Postal Service is selling the NCOA (National Change of Address) data to credit card companies. Some junk-mailing lists are also produced.
Minor point: the NCOA data is only available if you have the previous address.

You cannot just call them up and buy mailing lists. - -- America - a country so rich and so strong we can reward the lazy and punish the productive and still survive (so far) Don Melvin storm@ssnet.com finger for PGP key. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBLy7aP2vyi8p8VUiJAQHcdwQA0nq8oxSuwOGtTxw5McuYv+y8AxWIzRN0 BjRadDR3FOLKSbwRWFkyCy615lgcoDKEAA4POUKrq6s46ugOmQPR4OZTwDR859nR ifXzzRDM+HhsFbpEtS/HxYou0ZC0BUtAfuzjdVhtAkuk+RSrEcx1udLno1RonVff 2VuaDEuRmNU= =txUl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
