The invention relates to a mail-processing method that takes account of additional costs resulting from delivery errors. The inventive mail-processing method consists in: forming an image of each mail item, comprising address information (1); and using the image of the item and a reference address database to perform automatic optical character recognition (OCR) of the delivery address information (8, 9). The invention is characterised in that a database (11) is used (10) during the automatic recognition of the delivery address information, said database containing organised lists of delivery points for the postman's routes, such as to take account of an estimated additional cost resulting from a delivery error linked to the processing of the item if said item is delivered to the wrong delivery point.
