Hi Gunnar,

for my use case this should work.

I create the internal user "termin" set-up a password, login Horde, used calendar \
configuration to give  group:all@mydomain.de 'modify' rights and config default alarm \
+ email reminder for user "termin" to the internal  distribution list all@mydomain.de

I checked the group rights with cyradm, and used Kontact-client of one account that \
is also part of the group to connect  to this calendar folder.

Everything works as soon as I login into horde as user "termin". This triggers the \
email reminder to the distribution  list.

For a quick and dirty solution *me* thinks about using python + mechanize to simulate \
using a browser.

Bye

  Thorsten
