Hi.  I am very impressed with webcal.  I have used webcalng for about a 
year now but it seems that webcal would suit my needs better.  However, 
I am unable to get webcal to send out emails.  Webcal doesn't complain 
when I send emails to everyone on the invite list (one person now) and I 
don't see any errors in the errorlog.  On my server I know that I am 
able to send emails because webcalng is able to do so.  I don't 
understand how webcal sends email (I am running on winXP and have 
outlook express installed as the mail program).  A couple of questions 
related to the webcalconfig.pm settings:
1.        'daemonEmail'=>'webcal a t localhost.localdomain',   is it 
necessary to update this?  my domain is lforeman.homeip.net.

2.  Settings related to sendmail:

      'sendmail'=>'',     Do I set this to my email program (i.e. 
directory path and outlook express executable)??

      'smtpto'=>'mail.swbell.net',    On my other email programs, my 
smtp server is mail.swbell.net.
      'smtpfrom'=>'webcal a t lforeman.homeip.net',     Does this line make 
any difference (perhaps I ought to have linc1234 a t swbell.net which is my 
email account)??



Would it be best if I set up sendmail on my windowsXP server? 

Also, is it possible to have more than one email associated with a 
contact, with emails separated by a comma for example?


Thanks
