Calendar Server Email Invitations

I have Mavericks server set up solely for the calendar. My mail is hosted externally. I set up an [email protected] account on my external mail server specifically for the this calendar server to use. In the server app, I enabled "Enable invitations by email" in the Calendar service and entered the info for my external server.
When I create an event and invite my internal users, everything works great. If I invite an external user, they never receive an email. I've tried with external mac.com and gmail.com addresses.
The calendar error log on the server is showing the following. The firewall is off. Any ideas for further troubleshooting this issue?

I went back and disabled SSL for the external email settings for the Calendar service, and it started sending mail. Not sure why that was an issue.

    iCal Server email invitations - how to test and get this feature working
    Thanks Apple for introducing this nice little feature into iCal but then completely neglecting to write any sort of useful manual that can explain what to do when it doesn't work after you set it up for the first time.
    At long, long last we have finally got there after about 6 months of fiddling on and off, so I thought I had better post up the process since many have similar issues and it is hard to ascertain what is going on.
    Using an external email server was just a waste of time and it still wouldn't handle the replies properly even though it was supposed to handle '+addressing'. In the end I set up a special gmail account for the iCal server and finally got it working. I list here the process of configuring and testing the system to check that each little stage is working.
    Set up a Gmail account in Apple Mail to access and test in the usual way for any email account (e.g. [email protected].);
    Set the iCal server email to access the same email using the following settings:
    IMAP
    SMTP
    [email protected]
    smtp.gmail.com
    Port: 993 [x] Use SSL
    Port: 587 [x] Use SSL
    User & Pwd
    Login
    User & Pwd
    To test the settings:
    send out a test email from Apple Mail to a non-server email address that you can access to check it has been received;
    send out a test email from your non-server email account to [email protected] and check that it is received;
    this tells you that the GMail account is setup correctly and working
    Testing iCal:
    I noted that iCal was deleting any emails that arrive in the inBox in Apple Mail as soon as they arrived (this is to be expected);
    test that the invites are being sent from iCal by setting an event in iCal and inviting your non-server address (you may not see any sign of this in Apple Mail but you should catch it in the iCal server log and possibly in the Gmail sent mail box);
    check that the invite is received at your non-server account and Accept it in iCal on another machine - the reply is automatically sent back;
    the replies appear in Apple Mail but are quickly deleted by iCal. But their record for you to see is left in Gmail under 'All Mail';
    Accepted invites appear as a notification button on the top left hand bar on iCal where you click to acknowledge them and then the attendee is shown as a green circled tick instead of a grey circled ?.
    this shows that iCal invitations are working correctly. Whenever an event is updated, all invitees should be updated by email automatically.
    I hope this helps anyone - I could certainly have done with something similar when I started with looking at this.

    The Error and Access logfile in the Server app under iCal server are very useful in determining any errors. I got lots of imip errors when I didn't quite have the settings right. The port is critical and it won't tell you this is the problem if it fails.

  • ICal Server Email invitations HTTP post to SMTP server?

    Hello all - We have an iCal server truing to post HTTP to an external SMTP server for email invitations. In the caldav error log:

    Apparently the answer is Google Calendar.

  • Ical Server Email Invitations Setup

    Is there a guide to setup the Email Invitations? I have changed the settings over and over again in an attempt to make it work. I have tried pointing to the local mail server (same box) as well as our outside host with no luck. I have searched through many log files and am not seeing anything that will help me diagnose the issue. Any advise or guides out there? Thanks as usual for all of you help.

  • Customize ical server  email invitation to events?

    Is there a way to customize the email invitation that iCal server from snow leopard Server that sends to people outside of the organization when there is an event? maybe fonts? some custom text or company logo?
    Thank you.

    iCal Server sends invitations to internal users too if you remove the email addresses of your internal users under "Info" in Workgroup Manager.
    So the Open Directory does not have an entry for the users with your internal domain, which makes iCal Server see the user as an external one.

  • ICal Server email invitations with external mail server

    So I see lots of people have worked out the kinks to get iCal Server to send invites to external email accounts when using the Mail server on the same machine as the iCal Server, but who has it working when the mail server is somewhere else? Any help would be appreciated... I have setup it up like this:
    Email Address: [email protected]
    Incoming Mail Server: mail.mailserver.com
    User Name: com.apple.calendarserver (I created this account on the mail server)
    Password: Same as the one in my keychain for com.apple.calendarserver
    Outgoing Mail Server: mail.xyz.com
    Username: com.apple.calendarserver
    Password: Same as the one in my keychain for com.apple.calendarserver
    When I send invites, this is what I get in the logs:

    Okay, got this figured out. Appears that the email server my client's company uses is terminating the connection when the Xserve tries to do anything. I setup a test Gmail account and used those settings instead and everything worked just fine.

  • Calendar Server user can not receive external invites

    Hi,
    We have a MacPro running ML Server 10.8.5 with 10 user accounts using the calendar and file server services.
    Calendar server is where the issue is. We have 10 + users that are set up to send and receive external invites in calendar server without a problem. Recently, one of the user accounts stopped receiving external invites. The problem began not long after I set up a second account for the same user for their shared calendars (they requested this so all shared cals were not on their iOS devices). Although I used a separate email, it was an alias of the first so may have caused a conflict / problem (?). I got rid of the second account with no change to the first. 
    The account still receives invites from the other internal user accounts and the other services such as file sharing are unaffected. There are no other problems with the functionality of that user, in calendar or otherwise.
    I have tried changing the email associated with that user account and setting up a new test user account (in Server). The email invite will still not come through.
    I have changed it back to the way it was originally.
    Summary
    One of 10 user accounts does not receive external invites
    Was working until recently
    The account can send invites to external addresses
    Same email address will not work even when associated with a different account
    I have included a large section of the calendar error log from the part that references the email address (in red) attached to the user account in question. Apologies, I am not familiar with deciphering this information. That is why I've come here.
    Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks so much for your comment ~morgen.
    Sorry, I should have mentioned, that it what my first thought so I tested by ensuring the email address associated with the user account (not hosted on the server but by Google Apps) is recieving all other mail.
    I have also tried:
    - Setting all accounts (calendar, email and contact card with associated email address) in another local user on a defferent Mac. So it's not a local user or Mail app issue.
    - Sending invites from different Calendar apps and email accounts - iCloud, Gmail (both using Apple Calendar and the web interface).
    That's why I came back around to thinking it must be calendar server related. However is there is absolutly no conntact with the server with incoming email invites I must be looking in the wrong place (and the wrong forum - sorry!).
    Does anyone have any ideas where I should be focusing my efforts?
    Many thanks in advance.

  • Is anyone using the Calendar Server to send external invites?

    Is anyone using the Calendar Server to send external invites?
    We have a Mountain Lion server running DNS, Open Directory, File Sharing and VPN. We have recently stood up the Calendar server and it is working very well. Internal invites work fine and are instantaneous to computer, iPhone, iPad. We have the ports working so that calendar items created outside the network work fine as well. Only problem is we cannot invite anyone with an external e-mail address. Each time we do the Calendar Error Log populates with:

    We have set up an internal e-mail address. I have confined that it works fine. I have tried more than one internal account. I have also verified the settings through the command line by typing "sudo serveradmin settings calendar" The iMIP sending and receiving information is correct. There is no authentication type setting listed in the command line output even though there's a place to choose it in the Enable invitations by email - Edit button on the third screen. No matter what I choose it goes back to "login" and still doesn't work.
    The command line settings mention a port number 62310 as being the MailGatewayPort but opening that port on the network's firewall makes no difference. As I said external set up works fine from Mac/iPhone/iPad and push notification works fine as well.
    Is anyone using this functionality?

    I'm sorry. I forgot to add Mail to the list of services. I AM using mail on that server. Here's the iMIP portion of my settings output from Terminal.
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Server = "boardwalkserver.kuhnwitt.com"
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:UseSSL = yes
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Username = "calendarserver"
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Address = "[email protected]"
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Password = "password"
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Port = 465
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Enabled = yes
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:MailGatewayPort = 62310
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Server = "boardwalkserver.kuhnwitt.com"
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:UseSSL = yes
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Username = "calendarserver"
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:PollingSeconds = 30
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Type = "imap"
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Password = "password"
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Port = 993
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:AddressPatterns:_array_index:0 = "mailto:.*"
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:MailGatewayServer = "localhost"
    So Add mail to the services being used. Since Calendar is running on the mail server one would assume that it could communicate with it fairly easily.

  • Calendar Server Error: At least one sharee was not recognized by the server. New invitations have not been sent.

    I deployed a Mountain Lion Server with the calendar service active. Every time a user tries to share a calendar they have created under thier account to an external person using thier email address, the server gives the following error: "At least one sharee was not recognized by the server. New invitations have not been sent."
    Invites to share a calendar to OD accounts on the server seem to work fine.
    I have a calendar specific email address for external invites set up. The server seems to send individual event invites to external email addresses just fine, so I am thinking the email is working. Email is not served on the Mountain Lion Server. The account is through Google Apps using IMAP and SMTP.
    What's even stranger, is that there doesn't seem to be any message in the Calendar error logs.
    I've tried creating a new test account and no luck.
    I don't know what else to try.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Invitations not being sent out on Calendar Server 6.3

    We would be grateful for any help on this. We can give further details if needed, please just let us know.
    Thanks very much.
    Issue:
    To our customers the calendars server appears to be fully operational and without error. However, when a customer creates a new event and invites other people to attend, no invites are sent out. The event creator, however, believes all is in order as no error messages appear and the list of invitees appears on the event. This was working recently. We have looked for things which have changed (e.g. disk space, size of files, corruption, recent patching, licenses expiring, etc) but have not yet found anything that has changed.
    Some details of our system:

    What we've done:
    We have run db_verify and csdb -v check on the databases. ics50deletelog.db did have corruption, so we fixed that by using db_dump and db_load to export then import the databases.
    We also purged the ics50deletelog.db database using cspurge afterwards when the dump and load didn't seem to have had an effect.
    We tried putting the log level up in the /opt/SUNWics5/cal/config/ics.conf , but didn't get any more details when restarting the service (through /etc/init.d/sunwics5 restart)
    Before we did the db_dump, db_load and purge:

    Sounds like we talking about 'Event Invitations Notifications'. These are the notifications that gets sent when some one invite you to an event. Whether you receive the notification or not depends on your preference that is stored in ldap. This can be set using the Convergence by navigating through Options-> Calendar -> Notifcations (Check "Notify me via email of new invitations or invitation changes"). The actual ldap attributes that gets stored in user's entry is below.
    icsExtendedUserPrefs: ceNotifyEnable=1
    icsExtendedUserPrefs: ceNotifyEmail=[email protected]
    In the following cases, the user (attendee) will not get notifications even if the above preference is set.
    a> Creating an event with attendees in the past. CS6, by default, suppresses notifications for past events. You can enable notifications for past events by setting the config "ine.pastnotification.enable" to "yes" in ics.conf
    b> If the client creating the event requests server not to send notifications. (smtpNotify wcap param for storeevents.wcap). Outlook Connector uses this wcap param, so you won't get server notifications for the events invited using Outlook Connector. Outlook Connector sends it's own notifications directly.
    I think, you are looking for these kind of notifications. The process responsible for sending these notifications is "csadmind" on the Frontend. So, you need to check admin.log on the Frontend to see if it is sending notifications or not.

  • Calendar events created in iCal sending multiple email invites to invitees

    Background:
    Google Apps domain account
    Lion and Snow Leopard iCal users syncing to Google Calendar
    Problem:
    1.A Lion user creates a new iCal event and invites multiple people to the event.  The event is created and then an email invitation is sent to all invitees.  Each invitee receives 6 - 10 email notices about the evet. 
    2. the event organizer changes the event time, multiple email notices go out to all invitees (6-10 emails each).
    What is causing this problem and is there a way to fix it?
    Thanks

    Thank you Apple for obviously Not testing Lion Server for international use :-/
    Maybe this help someone else who is using umlauts with iCal Server external Email invitations
    Regards
    Eldrik

    Hello Daryn,
    Thinks for commenting. I am very upset that Apple just said "No" when I asked for this to be fixed. There appears to be no way to submit this as an official bug that keeps ical from running.
    Apple actually had me reinstall my whole server and the issue was still there and then they just said "Oh, well I will email someone about it.".
    This is the first time Apple has stunk it up in my books. This is bad support for Server.

  • Hpw do you change Calendar server's from email address for a user?

    I have a user account with multiple email aliases.  The Calendar server has picked up one of those as the from address when scheduling appointments.  Does anyone know how to change this address to force it to use the primary address?
    I looked into the Postgres database bute did not find the entry so any pointers would be appreciated.

    Perfect, thank you!

  • Calendar Server and Email Server on Same Machine - Email Issue

    Hi.
    I've installed email and calendar on the same host. The email domain for test purposes is the name of the machine. I noticed in the configuration guide, it says that if you put the calendar server and email server on the same machine you need to configure sendmail.cf and modify incoming rules in order to get email reminders from Calendar to Email. I have done this but am still not able to. I get the emails kicked back to root and they say:
    553 5.3.5 System Config Errors
    553 5.3.5 <machine name> config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)
    Has someone seen this before?
    Thank You,
    Matt

    Hi Russ,
    We have the same problem as Matt.
    We have properly set up OCS Email it works well both inside and outside our network.
    The only thing that appears not to be working is the email notification capabilities of OCS Calendar.
    We have changed sendmail.cf as stated in the documentantion.
    we are using -
    RedHat Advanced Server 2.1,
    sendmail 8.11.6
    bind 9.1.3
    I would be very gratefull of any information on this, as we're out of ideas...
