RE: [PHPiCalendar-DEV] Outlook and iCal addition into phpicalendar

[svens <sv...@de...>]

I am so sorry that I express myself so poorly.

Authentication takes place by the senders-email address, only registered
emailaddresses can add, and only into the calendars they are associated
with, according to an array/database set up by the administrator. (Now I am
not discussing an open calendar, in which case no authentication would take
place, of course). This can be done with the php imap-functions.

The uid-basis is the identification of the events themselves for tracking
them in the calendar and deleting or retrieving them.

I don't know much about spoofing anothers email-address, but I reckon an
important element of that is that one has to know the registered
emailaddress in order to spoof it. In the mail2icalendar I made, this
emailaddress is not revealed, so I reckon it's spoof proof enough.

I'll make a test calendar, anyone who wishes to try it, can mail me with
their address. I'll also publish the (yet simple code) I used. Of course
there is lot room for improvement, but for me, it already works.
