Keywords to look up in the documentation are
  • ServiceWrapper
  • MessageQueue (for asynchronous handling)
to a lesser degree ModelListener - it might seem like an option, but I'd rather go with ServiceWrapper. In all cases, you most likely want to implement sending the mail asynchronously from your transaction.

I would suggest to go for a ServiceWrapper. In a project for Liferay 7.0 I used the following code (should be adapted easily for Liferay 7.2).

@Component(
    immediate = true,
    service = ServiceWrapper.class
)
public class CalendarBookingLocalServiceOverride extends CalendarBookingLocalServiceWrapper {
    public CalendarBookingLocalServiceOverride() {
        super(null);
    }
    @Override
    public CalendarBooking addCalendarBooking(
        long userId, long calendarId, long[] childCalendarIds,
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; long parentCalendarBookingId, Map<locale, string> titleMap,
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Map<locale, string> descriptionMap, String location, long startTime,
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; long endTime, boolean allDay, String recurrence, long firstReminder,
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; String firstReminderType, long secondReminder,
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; String secondReminderType, ServiceContext serviceContext) throws PortalException {</locale,></locale,>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; serviceContext.setAttribute("sendNotification", false);
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;return super.addCalendarBooking(userId, calendarId, childCalendarIds, parentCalendarBookingId, titleMap, descriptionMap, location, startTime, endTime, allDay, recurrence, firstReminder, firstReminderType, secondReminder, secondReminderType, serviceContext);
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;}
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;
}

<p>HI Dominik Marks,</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Thanks for your answer, but if we make&nbsp; this as&nbsp; false (<strong>serviceContext.setAttribute(&quot;sendNotification&quot;, false</strong>);&nbsp; ) it will disable the notifications to all users who are invited. But my requirement is not to allow email&nbsp; only to <strong>test@liferay&nbsp;.com</strong>. Can anyone suggest how it will be done ?</p>

You could just delete that user account. You shouldn't have it anyway - create your own administrator user, not one that any brute force attack would try to check for first. It's shocking how many installations use this ancient default - and probably quite some with a nonsecure password.
Figure out, why it's sent to that user - e.g. because it's the owner of the site where the calendar is positioned - that mail you might want to send (to a proper person).
I'm not sure, but also: Isn't test@liferay.com blacklisted, so you won't send out the email anyway? Or was this implemented later and comes in 7.3?
But in general: Don't create user accounts with mails that you don't control.
