"Don't let anyone to invite me to meetings" Option under Preferences > Calendar

[bacacosta]

Hello everyone,

I'm willing to see if anyone here is facing the same problem (and this is a bug in Zimbra itself) or if it is some problem in our installation.

We are using Zimbra 5.0.18, installed over a Debian 4.0, and we are facing a problem in the Calendar configuration. There is a option there that "Don't let anyone to invite me to meetings", but this doesn't seem to work. If i set it for my account, and any other user invites me for a meeting (under the Schedule view), i get an invitation mail anyway. Is this a bug in this version? If so, is there already any fix for it? Does any other user have seen it?

Thanks in advance for any reply,
Rodrigo

You get an invitation mail but does it have the accept/decline buttons in the web ui? Does the meeting get automatically inserted in your calendar by the web ui?

Hello ewilen, and thanks a lot for ur reply. The email i get doesn't show the accept/decline button, and the meeting isn't inserted in my calendar. It seems like i can't join the meeting (which is right), but we didn't want any email to be sent in this case. Is it possible to be done?

Another strange thing: this email i get says that 'the following meeting was changed', even though i just created it...

If u need further infos, just ask. Thanks again.
Rodrigo

I doubt that you can prevent sending of the email, although you could auto-delete all invitations using a filter. Maybe you could open an RFE to have invites intercepted and bounced back to the sender.

You might want to open a bug report on that second issue.

Thanks a lot for your help, ewilen. Now i think we have a direction to follow!
