Printing to a kitchen printer via email - printers

All,
When someone orders a sandwich from a website, I want to be able to print the order out in a kitchen. Is there a printer that will Poll the email box and when a new one is received it will print it out ?
I can use a laptop that is plugged into the reciept printer if this helps.

You can get printers with cloud printing nowadays. Some let you send an email to a specific email address and it will print it out automatically.
Check this link out for more info on printers and their availability. http://www.google.co.uk/cloudprint/learn/printers.html

Sending iCalendar to an user who's also the organizer of the event

I'm working on a C# application that sends emails containing a vCalendar event in its body. Say I (knockycode) would like to create a calendar event via this application. An email will be sent to my email address with the following body:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
METHOD:REQUEST
PRODID:-//MyCompany//Product//EN
VERSION:2.0
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTAMP:20130819T084518Z
DTSTART:20051126T011300Z
SUMMARY:Testing that calendars get received
UID:MyOwnID
SEQUENCE:123
ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION;RSVP=TRUE;CN="knockycode#lotusnotes.com":MAILTO:knockycode#lotusnotes.com
ORGANIZER;CN="Knockycode":MAILTO:knockycode#lotusnotes.com
LOCATION:TBC
DTEND:20051126T031300Z
DESCRIPTION:Some Body\NAnother Line of the body
BEGIN:VALARM
ACTION:DISPLAY
DESCRIPTION:REMINDER
TRIGGER;RELATED=START:-PT02H30M00S
END:VALARM
TRANSP:OPAQUE
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
Take note that the organizer and the attendee is one and the same. This is so the organizer (me/knockycode) can actually have the event created on my mail client.
On Exchange/Outlook and gmail, the email is received (and I can RSVP to the event).
However, on Domino/Lotus Notes -- the email is not received (i.e. not shown in my mailbox). Though the logs in the Domino console do say the email's sent successfully.... If the organizer's email address was different to mine though -- the email does get received and shown in my mailbox.
Is there some configuration of the Domino server that would allow this email to be received?
Or something else has to be added to the email body?
I think this per your last comment is working as designed. The ICS will just get you a notice on the calendar. I would go back to the Exchange side and use a new meeting form to get all the elements for interaction. If you pass a meeting notice to a Notes user (depending on the version that the client is using) from Exchange you can send invites out of the box. Notes can send replies back successfully in some instances. The issue might come up with reschedules and meeting cancels. These don't play well between systems well. Then you might run your present code to pass a ICS at the time of meeting change time/location. I would see how things work first then write your code. The ICS file will also work under remote devices like Apple iPhone/iPad.

Issues Claiming A Business On Foursquare

I am trying to claim my business on Foursquare, but when I try to do it by phone both my main local number and main 800# are not working... It's telling me it is unable to verify that phone number?? These are the MAIN phone numbers?? If I try to mail verification, I need to somehow get it mailed to my PO Box (Breckenridge does not have physical mail delivery - ONLY Po Boxes), but when I try to either change the address entirely to the PO Box or just add the PO Box and hit the verify button, nothing happens. I've hit the verify button no less than a dozen times... Nothing. Please help!
It sounds like you should file a ticket with Foursquare's support team:

They should be able to help you!

How to prevent emails from a specific address going to Hotmail SPAM?

I have a site on a dedicated server with it's own IP range that has been running for a good few years. We have a notification email address (mailout#domain.com) which we use to send automated emails (activation emails when a user signs up and notification emails if something relevant to them happens, eg someone befriends them or comments on their picture etc). Users can select whether to receive these notifications or not. We have SPF and RDNS setup.
Email from all our other email accounts go to hotmail/gmail/yahoo mail etc correctly into the inbox. However any mail sent from the mailout#domain.com account (whether automatically by the server or manually via outlook) is delivered correctly to the inboxes for yahoo and gmail however goes into Junk in Hotmail (but other #domain.com addresses deliver to hotmail's inbox correctly). It says at the top of the message that MS Smartscreen marked this message as junk. I signed up for MS Smart Network Data Services to monitor the IP and it says it's not blocked but it displays Bot-like behaviour (which kind of makes sense as our notifications are kind of bot like even though they're not spam).
I can't work out what to do to prevent this from happening, we've authenticated the email, there's obviously not a general block on the IP as emails from different accounts on the same domain are going through successfully. It doesn't seem to be the format of the email either because if I send identical emails from mailout#domain.com and contact#domain then the one from contact# gets through to the inbox but the one from mailout# goes through to junk.
I can't really work out what to do and obviously trying to get MS to sort it out is never going to happen and i've used all their available tools. I can obviously try setting up a new email address (eg noreply#domain.com) and using that for notifications but i assume it will only be a matter of time before that gets blocked as well.
I would be immensely grateful for any suggestions anyone has!
Thanks so much,
Dave
You don't have many options. Try to do as many of the following as you can:
Reach out to MS support (don't discard this notion)
Implement DKIM and possibly DMARC (which are vastly more informative than SPF)
Change your IP address to something cleaner
Find and follow bulk sender best practices, e.g. M³AAWG's BCPs, perhaps the Help – I'm on a Blocklist doc

Lotus Notes doesn't send customised button

I created a customised button with some simple actions attached to it in Lotus Notes 6.5. It's just a simple voting button, which I emailed to a group of nearly 200 people. While sending I got a pop up telling me that the button can't be send. After about 10 seconds I got a first reply asking 'where's the button'. Then an avalanche of very clever emails followed, such as: 'no button', 'where's the button', etc.
Before I spammed everyon I had tried the email on my work mate and the button went through fine!
Any ideas? I suspect some security policy....
I really need to send this mail and get the survey results, so I don't want to fail again. Any suggestions appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Damo
Might be an issue if some recipients don't have Notes e-mail account.
If your gathering information then assuming you are going to store the data in a Lotus notes database create a form where they can input it directly and just send them a doc link to the database.
Buttons can be weird because if they contain code that is restricted by the ECL of the workstation then notes may automatically hide the button on the basis that it won't let the code run so hide it by default. You may be able to get round this by having the system admins send the button on your behalf.
This may be a daft question, but did you actually send the email to other Lotus Notes users via your Notes infrastructure? If not, the mail routers will have stripped the mail of any proprietary Notes stuff as it wings out to the internet.
You mention an error message, what was it exactly? AndrewB mentions that your organisation's ECL may be kicking in; alternatively, if you use 3rd party spam / trojan protection, that might have had something to do with it, I don't know.

How to Send Group Sms?

Can we send SMS programatically by selecting group from the address book using J2me?
yes... it is possible to have access to the users phonebook (if supported on the device(most modern devices do allow it)) via PIM(JSR 75).
And sending SMS's from j2me is also possible(again if the user allows this).
It turns out you can only send a single message to a single recipient at a time using JSR-205.
If you want to send the same message to many recipients, you have to loop around
javax.wireless.messaging.Message.setAddress();
javax.wireless.messaging.MessageConnection.send();
There is no way to add a javax.microedition.pim.ContactList to a Message or to a MessageConnection because there can't be any API dependancy between JSR-205 and JSR-75.
The latest JavaME SDK contains example code that shows how to read contact data in a MIDlet.
