I'm pretty sure that e-mail is primarily sent out by the daemon "wcald" that
is running in the background. There are a couple instances where the wcal
script will send out and e-mail, but your timing has to be perfect.
I have no clue myself how you get wcald to run as a daemon on WinXP. It's
also difficult to get wcald to run on a linux web server if you don't own it
and have full privileges.
So..the answer to your 2 questions won't fix your problem.

Subject: [Webcalendar] problems sending out emails through webcal
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
