currently, if you are using the USPS address lookup it will be triggered during contact import.
since the USPS webtools api is not supposed to be used for bulk processing, we really shouldn't be running it during contact import.

i propose the following mod:
CRM/Core/BAO/Address.php
around line 315:

Code: [Select]

$urlpath = explode( '/', CRM_Utils_System::currentPath() );
if ( ! empty( $asp ) && $urlpath[1] != 'import' ) {

this will prevent it from being used when using the importer.

we'll need to do a few things:

1. One option might be to hook it into the geocoding option and if geocoding option is disabled do not do USPS lookups either (that way the user has some control and might want to do so for smaller files)

2. We'll also need to provide an alternative for batch USPS address correction in UpdateAddress.php to format the addresses that were not formatted (this might be a bit harder, since we dont keep track of what addresses were sent)

i think adding the option to the import process would make sense.
but it should be distinct from geocoding. they are separate and distinct processes.

i don't believe UpdateAddress handles the USPS lookup.
from a quick review, i think it just has the option of handling the geocode and address parsing

Yes, we'll need to extend UpdateAddress to do so. Should not be too hard

Any interest in submitting a patch for this
