Hello,

I have a customer that runs Domino on the i5.

They have a service provider that has installed a piece of software on a
PC they have provided. They (the service provider) dial this PC's modem
up 75-100 times a day, transmit a text only file and the software stores
and prints it. The text file is kept for review and reprints. The
printed copy gets distributed to on out of a dozen people depending on
the content.

The person that wrote the software at both ends has long since
(years...) left the service provider. The software only works with
specific older modems. We have tried loading the software on a new PC,
different modems, all kinds of combinations that work except for this
software. The provider says they are moving to a) email b) FTP. While I
did a proof of concept a couple of years ago where I could take the
archived PC file, parse it and email it to the appropriate individual,
the customer doesn't like the idea of email only.

Now the provider's PC is starting to act more often like it did when we
loaded the software on newer PCs with newer modems - corrupted data. So,
I have to see if I can come up with a working alternative for the customer.

Is there any way to setup Domino (on the i5) to automatically print any
email that arrives at a single address and because of SPAMMERS only from
a specific address? Alternative is to have a Notes session running on a
PC that will need to have auto login to the PC and Notes (24x7) that
will then print when ever the configured account receives a new email.
Any sample agents that will help with Notes printing? I've tried to
convince them that the person(s) that do the paper distribution could
bring up the "special" mailbox and print the new items THEN distribute
them but they are typical customers/users...

I like the basics of using FTP, so I can give another shot at the
automated distribution. The work of making sure FTP is locked down and
writing a monitor/print program is probably a lot more than the email route.

Thanks.

Roger Vicker, CCP
