Server-side scheduling for Baikal 0.9.2?

[tromlet]

Baikal version: 0.9.2

Expected behaviour: Emails send when inviting attendees from email client (all, but in my specific case Thunderbird 91.6.2)

Current behaviour: Emails do not send, and there is no documentation/instruction on how to configure Baikal to use either a local email sender or a relay to issue invitations. Email client does not issue invitations, either.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create event in ANY calendar (even calendar where email client user's email matches the calendar user's email in Baikal).
2. Select attendees
3. Left-click "Send and Save"
4. Watch as emails are never sent and never arrive. :(

Setup up the calendar and hit finish (Prefer client -side email scheduling will be greyed out at this point). Go back to the Calendar, select the calendar, right click, hit properties. You can now enable "Prefer Client-Side Email Scheduling".

Now invite emails send from the client side like they should.

This is a good tip, at least for anyone using Thunderbird, but it's still sometimes a little bit wonky with the associated email addresses. For example, if I have [email protected] set for the Example company calendar in Baikal, Thunderbird will not auto-email everyone in the organization via that [email protected] email address, which is... frustrating. :P

I guess that's more of a Thunderbird issue, though.

Baikal uses the php mail() function to send emails. On some hosters that might not be possible. Follow #937 for SMTP mail delivery.
