Each contact in Sumac can have up to three addresses:

• Residence Address
• Business Address
• Vacation Address

When you run a print mailing, Sumac automatically chooses which address to use in the following order.

1. Vacation Address

Sumac first checks whether the contact has a Vacation Address.

If one exists, Sumac also checks whether it is currently active. Vacation addresses can have a start and end date, allowing Sumac to use them only during a specific time of year.

• If the Vacation Address is active on the date you run the mailing, Sumac uses it.
• If there is no active Vacation Address, Sumac moves on to the Business Address.

2. Business Address

Next, Sumac checks whether a Business Address has been entered.

If a Business Address exists, Sumac looks at the Use this address for mailings checkbox.

• If the checkbox is selected, Sumac uses the Business Address.
• If the checkbox is not selected, or no Business Address has been entered, Sumac uses the Residence Address.

3. Residence Address

The Residence Address is the default mailing address.

If neither the Vacation Address nor the Business Address qualifies, Sumac automatically uses the Residence Address.

Email Mailings

Email mailings work a little differently. Instead of choosing between address types, Sumac sends emails to any address in the contact record that has the Send to this email address checkbox selected.
