Ical server invitations to external email adresses are sent from "user"@localhost.localdomain

Hello,
I have quite a bad time getting the ical server in OSX 10.7 server to work correctly.
If I invite a co-worker who also has an account on the server, everything seems to be fine.
When I invite someone with an external email address, an email is sent to the given address, but the sender address is not my Adress but "MyName" @localhost.localdomain.
Besides the fact, that this looks quite strange for a corporate company to send emails like this, some receipients who use outlook cannot accept these invitations.
Unfortunately I cannot find any settings where I could change this behaviour.
The ical server is configured to connect to an external email service with its own email address.
Can anybody help?

Hi,
Is there only a single user encounter this issue?
If only a single user has this issue, try to move the mailbox to another database and check the result.
Thanks.

  • What determines the address iCal email reminders are sent from?

    *What determines the address iCal email reminders +are sent from+?*
    On our g4 iMac, running Tiger, my wife has multiple pop3 email accounts. 6 to be exact.
    She only has one address listed in her address book, and that is her own main primary address.
    She recently started using iCal email reminders for reoccurring events. At first she was getting emails from her main address mailed to her main address. Works as planned.
    But recently, she is getting reminders emailed to her main address send from one of her other POP 3 email accounts. This is not desirable. She needs them to come from her main address, the one that is her primary account and is listed in the address book. She is not sure what caused this change or why.
    So the question is, what determines the address the email reminder is sent from and how can you change this to another address.
    THX

    Yes, that's what I thought too.
    There is only one address besides the "APPLE" card in her book, and that is her primary address, and unfortunately, NOT the one her reminders are coming from.

  • Choosing the account email alarms are sent from

    I have Mail.app configured with three e-mail accounts; two for home and one for work. When an alarm is sent, iCal sometimes tries to send it from my work account; but, if I'm not logged into the VPN, it will fail sending.
    Is there any way to specify which mail.app account iCal will use to send alarms?

    I just happened to get across the same issue and this is what I found out:
    Which mail account is used depends firstly on a setting in Mail.app, where you define from which account you normally send mails. Basically you have to choices: either the last visited (i.e. the one that is currently selected) or one specific account.
    Depending what setting you chosen there, iCal uses the respective account for sending out invitations.
    So it is either one defined account or the one that's currently selected. This is somewhat awkward as you always have to remember to check (and eventually change) the currently selected account.
    It's be much nicer if you could defined the account to send invitations per calendar in iCal…

  • Workflow initiated Email to external Email Adress

    Thanks for your support
    We are running SharePoint 2013 (SP1) and Exchange 2013 on premis. I want to have a workflow send an email to an external adress. The workflow seems to work, sends also an email to internal adress, but nothing arrives on the external one. In the workflow
    config, I simply add the external email adress in to field via the selector: it then apprears as a normal adress in the to field.
    We are receiving email for example into mail enabled docstores in Exchange, so there seems to be a connection there.
    Any thoughts?
    Raoul

    Check your Exchange server logs. It may be disallowing relay to that external address.

  • My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?

    My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?
    I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.

    In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
    I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
    You'd need to add an account here:

  • HT204382 This was no help at all. i can not open and veiw the video emails that are sent through

    I can not veiw my video emails that are sent to me..??

    It's not quite that. It is saying it's an MOV file which, although it is read by iTunes on the Mac, cannot be played by the iPhone. It's slightly confusing as I downloaded it off the iTunes store. Do you think this can be remedied? Or refunded?

  • I have 4 email accts, all but one work fine, the main one doesn't receive emails that are sent to me at all? Any idea what went wrong?

    After the download, I began entering my email accounts manually. The first one "[email protected]" doesn't appear to be working properly. Emails that my friends have sent to me are not being received, test emails I have sent from my office are not geting to me either.
    I have looked at the setups for the other 3 accounts and all are the same as the first, so why is this happening?? Hopefully, when you send me an answer, I will get it???
    Thanks,
    Ron

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

    emails have been sent from my iphone and they are not from me.  what do I do to secure this doesn't happen again?  I've already changed password

    I have this problem too, it's called "spoofing" aparently.
    There isn't much you can do except change your email address which is a huge problem if like me you have an Apple one and can't change it without losing your whole iTunes and App purchase history which is a billiantly stupid bit of design on Apple's part.
    There's some interesting stuff here: http://www.bluehostforum.com/showthread.php?132-how-to-stop-spoofed-email-addres ses
    but I don't think there's much chance of applying it to iCloud but I am not an expert.

  • Mail crashes when viewing emails with attachments sent from outlook

    This problem is intermittent -- and I have a hard time reproducing it consistently. This crash seems to creep up every two weeks.
    When I click on an email that was sent from outlook that contains an attachment (usually word documents), mail immediately closes and I get the "mail unexpectedly quit, do you want to reopen?" message.
    The only data loss is if I had any opened drafts that had not been sent, and mail does not keep any draft windows open. However, this is frustrating for my particular work flow, because I usually keep 10-20 drafts neatly tiled on my second monitor, so that I can quickly look at emails that are currently in my pipeline. I can go back into the drafts folder and re-open, but the drafts open in new windows at the default size, not small and tiled the way I like. .Mac also has a tendency to create and save duplicate drafts, so I have 100 drafts, despite only caring about 20 of them. I try to go through and delete old drafts once a month, but it's tedious. Going through and fishing out the current 20 drafts is annoying after this crash.
    So I'm trying to figure out a way to avoid this crash. I read on a forum that this might be a problem with emails that are formated in HTML, and that I could use the terminal to force mail to display plain text by default. I used the following string:
    defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE
    I was expecting this to force every incoming email to be the same default plain text font, but it only seems to disable emails with heavy HTML with images and what not...
    Any ideas about how to avoid this crash? Every time this happens I close mail and repair permissions, but it always happens again.
    One additional note -- I have 5 accounts, and my inbox is very big (over 12,000 emails). Is this part of the problem?
    Running OS 10.4.8 on a dual 2.7 ghz G5 with 1.5 gb ram. Mail version 2.1

  • Mails are sent from wron account

    Hi,
    My iPad is set up with two email accounts (both from Google; one Gmail and one Google Apps). When I send mail, the from address is always the same no matter which account I set as default. The compose screen shows the correct account but the mail is still sent from a specific account.
    This is not confined to Mail; it also happens when sharing stuff from Safari, Photos (which is Mail at the end of the day).
    I don't have this problem on my iPhone which uses the same accounts and Apple ID.
    For what it's worth: The iPad is only a few weeks old and was restored from an iCloud backup.

    Well, it doesn't use the standard account. It uses the same account no matter what I set as standard account. Also, when sending mail, the from address is set to the address I wish to use, but it still ends up as sent from the other account.
    I just tested sending from Mail again a few times. Mails are sent from the wrong account no matter what I do. Even if I open the mailbox of the account I want to use, mails are still sent from the other account.
    I was wondering if it could have anything to do with SMTP and both accounts being hosted by Google. I checked the SMTP settings for both accounts and they are set up to use distinctive SMTP settings. No logins are shared or anything.

  • ICal Server sends invitations via external email but no RSVP

    I have set up a fresh install of Mavericks Server (10.9.3) running DNS and OD Services and now enabled iCal Server.
    I setup invitation of external users via an external email address and  invitations get sent and delivered via email just fine so I guess plus-addressing must be supported by the mailserver.
    However the invitations do not show the RSVP requests and do not automatically get picked up by Calendar.app.
    The server sits behind a NAT router and runs its own Split-DNS setup for the same local domain myserver.xyz.com that the router also redirects to the internal IP address of the server for external access to the iCal Server (so, FQDN is working for the server). The email account used for invitations is hosted on an external mailserver that runs on the same domain (mail.xyz.com).
    Did I miss anything in my setup?
    Thanks for any input.
    Pete

    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.

  • Mechanism for supporting invites to external email addresses

    I'm not quite sure whether this should be handled by the client or the server, but it's basically a show-stopper. Once a calendar account is bought-into the CalDav server, there's no way, anymore, to specify an external email address to be invited to an event.
    This might be handled on the client, as a fall-back to the default functionality. More robustly, the server might send out an invite (a la the current invites sent by iCal) and accept responses, which it would then relay back to the original inviter.
    I understand that this is not part of the CalDav spec, but it's practically necessary in order to make use of the Calendar Server/iCal solution on a day-to-day basis. In fact, this one bug (and not many of the other rather annoying issues currently present in the Apple Groupware solution) is preventing us from adopting it.
    My entire company (Engine Yard) is a big fan of Apple. We all (60 of us) have Apple laptops, iPhones, and the works. Many of our employees cringe at the idea of having to switch to Exchange/Entourage, because they (rightfully) have been sucked in by the relatively good UI design that is typically the hallmark of Apple products.
    Unfortunately, this endeavor with the server has somewhat tarnished the general sense that Apple puts substantial thought into its products. Long story short: please help me find a workaround for this issue

    If Apple is using this system "internally", you can bet for sure that their version works just fine!
    I pray they are going to fix this horrific oversight in 10.5.3, or its really going to start "upsetting" a lot of people!
