An automated sorting machine encounters an address with a ZIP code that does not match the city and state provided (e.g., 'Beverly Hills, CA 90210' is correct, but it reads 'Los Angeles, CA 90210'). According to USPS mail processing logic, what is the most likely initial action the system will take?

The mailpiece will be immediately returned to the sender for correction. The mailpiece will be dispatched to the Post Office indicated by the ZIP Code. The mailpiece will be held at a central facility until the address is manually verified. The mailpiece will be delivered based on the city/state, ignoring the incorrect ZIP Code.

Correct Answer:

The mailpiece will be dispatched to the Post Office indicated by the ZIP Code.
