Correct address not used in MAILTOfield of iCal files

Question

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this, as it does have something to do with the GWIA (kind of) but I'm not sure if the GWIa should be responsible for dealing with the situation.
When GroupWise sends out an iCal file, it uses the userid in the email address instead of the preferred internet address. While this typically isn't an issue, we are having issues with some other email services adding the address in the iCal file as another attendee and not showing the original address (the preferred internet address) as having accepted the meeting. This causes further issue if the users of those other email systems modify the appointments, as it ends up removing the appointment from our GroupWise calendars.
For a more visual understanding:
Userid: mhk1234
Preferred Internet Address: [email protected]
Source of email sent when accepting appointment sent by [email protected]

So, is there something we need to change so that iCal files have the correct addresses in them or is this fixed in GroupWise 2012?

Answer 1

Here is another example I happen to own both accounts so both are my name. I removed all IP addresses and changed the domains.
