Calendar email invites

tejas.designer07
Hi, I was able to successfully add calendar for all users. I am also able to send email invites to other users not in the same domain. But the calendar does not send email invites to users in the same top level domain as the organizer. Is there any settings where I can configure that. Thanks :)

    Hello, Can you please walk me through what you're doing? I can do invites to any domain and share the calendar with other users locally as well as publicly.

    Hi @cPanelLauren, Thanks for your response. Steps: 1. I get my principal url link from cPanel -> Email Accounts -> Manage a users account -> Configure Calendars and Contacts -> Copy the 'Alternate Server URL' 2. Open calendar app on Mac -> Preferences -> Accounts -> Add CalDav Account -> Fill in all the information. 3. Create a event on the calendar. 4. Sends email invites to people outside of the organization but doesn't send email invites to people in the organization. I want to send everyone invited to the event a email invite when I create an event. Hopefully, I could articulate my issue correctly. Thanks :)

    Ok, this is essentially what I did in testing yesterday but I was able to receive event/calendar invites to same domain users. Here is what I found in the exim log for the transaction as well: [root@server ~]# exigrep 1jOW85-0001vf-PJ /var/log/exim_mainlog 2020-04-14 19:42:13 cwd=/var/spool/exim 3 args: /usr/sbin/exim -Mc 1jOW85-0001vf-PJ 2020-04-14 19:42:13 1jOW85-0001vf-PJ <= lauren@mydomain.tld H=(localhost) [127.0.0.1]:34694 P=esmtp S=11067 id=20200414194213.Horde.u_FPWcqmLRDZwhvHpY_Xd4U@server.myserver.tld T="test invite" for user1@mydomain.tld 2020-04-14 19:42:13 1jOW85-0001vf-PJ => user1 R=virtual_user T=dovecot_virtual_delivery C="250 2.0.0 1jPCNmVYll4GHQAA9Z/phw Saved"2020-04-14 19:42:13 1jOW85-0001vf-PJ Completed [root@server ~]#
    When you send invites to local users are you able to see a similar transaction in the log file?

    I don't get any logs when I invite a person in the same domain. But I get the following log (similar to yours) when I invite someone from outside the org. 2020-04-15 15:42:37 1jOpnp-00051z-LS <= tejas@domain.tld H=localhost (server_host_name) [127.0.0.1]:54136 P=esmtpsa X=TLSv1.2:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:256 CV=no A=dovecot_login:cpanel-ccs S=4410 id=20200415214237.6545.234567889.21@server_host_name T="Event invitation: Email Test" for tejas@anotherdomain.tld 2020-04-15 15:42:37 1jOpnp-00051z-LS Sender identification U=cpanel-ccs D=-system- S=cpanel-ccs 2020-04-15 15:42:41 1jOpnp-00051z-LS => tejas@anotherdomain.tld R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp H=anotherdomain.tld [IP_Address] X=TLSv1.2:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:256 CV=yes C="250 Email accepted" 2020-04-15 15:42:41 1jOpnp-00051z-LS Completed

    Huh! Interesting. I think the difference is in I'm making the calendar changes in horde where you're doing them in the mac mail client using cpanel-ccs the new CalDav server. I'll dig into this a bit more tomorrow and see what I can find out. :)

    A client had similar issue on iphone in the past, end up he bought an app "BusyCal" which solve this issue. The default calendar app seems not work.

    @garconcn Ahh it could be a mac thing - I will be testing on a mac in the morning tomorrow. I'll update with my findings. In the meantime @tejas.designer07 is anything noted in the caldav logs? You can find them at /usr/local/cpanel/logs/cpdavd_error_log and cpdavd_session_log

    @garconcn Thanks for the update. @cPanelLauren Thanks for taking the effort for testing it on a mac. I tried using Thunderbird as well, but I got the same result. Emails get sent to outside org invitees and not internal people. These lines are repeated several times in cpdavd_error_log Use of uninitialized value $ENV{"REMOTE_ADDR"} in string ne at libexec/cpdavd.pl line 794, line 2. Use of uninitialized value $ENV{"REMOTE_ADDR"} in string ne at libexec/cpdavd.pl line 794, line 1.
    Nothing specific in cpdavd_session_log

    Hello, I'm sorry I didn't get to this yesterday, I tried and then got caught up. I was able to get calendar invites to send to outside domains. Here's the steps I took exactly: 1. Access the account configuration menu. Perform the following steps to access the calendars (CalDav) on your Apple computer:
    • Click Launchpad, and then click System Preferences.
    • Click Internet Accounts.
    • Click Add Other Account".
    2. Add the appropriate account type. Click CalDAV Account to add a calendar account, then, click Create. 3. Enter your account information. To complete the setup of your account, enter your information in the appropriate text boxes. Note: For calendar accounts (CalDAV), you must select Automatic from the Account Type menu. I used the documentation here:
