ICal invitation replies stuck in mailserver (ML Server)

I've tried to setup the iCal server on my MacMini server. Spend a lot of time to get the invitations to work. Finaly it's working but when you reply on the invitation it's getting stuck in the mailserver. I use the com.apple.calenderserver address. I'm using Kerio Connect as a mailserver. When i look in the message que of Kerio i can see the replies but they stuck. They are pointed to: [email protected]
So it looks like there is a missing link between kerio sending it to the iCal server or the iCal server receiving it from kerio...
Anybody know how to fix this? All help is welcome! Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks a lot for your reply. Unfortunately it does'nt work yet. Invitations going out, no problem, same as before. Replies on invitations coming back to Kerio, see them in the message Que. After a while they disappear. It's telling me: "Result failed, Too many hops, message looping so it's still not delivering the message to the iCal server.
Settings email invitations iCal:

Can you please help me further? Many thanks in advance!

ICal invitation replies don't add

Hi,
I can send out out iCal invitations just fine, but when the receiver respond with their calendard application, iCal does not seem to recognize it. I still have the questionmark on the left of each invitee's name.
The replies I get look fine, they are .ics files.
Neither does iCal automatically add these to my invitation, nor does anything happen if I double-click on the .ics file.
When the same people send me an invitation from their end, it works just fine, they get added automatically to my iCal.
So it's just their replies after I invited them to an event that don't seem to do anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Sascha

Reply acceptance has always been flaky for me. Snow Leopard behaves better, but not perfectly.

ICal invite replies Use Wrong Outgoing Server

Hi There,
I have 3 e-mail accounts in Mail.
When someone sends me an invite it goes into iCal no problem. If I try to reply to the invite through iCal then it works ok on 2 of the e-mail accounts but not on 1.
i.e. If someone sent the invite to account 1 it is ok.
If they send it to account 2 it is ok
but account 3 is the problem.
With account 3 I get a pop-up message from Mail telling me "Cannot send message using the server xxxxx". The server to which it is referring is the server to be used for one of the other accounts.
It won't even work if I select another server from the list.
Any ideas?
powerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thanks for your help.
I'm not entirely sure I understood your instructions though.
I went into Mail preferences and went to the accounts section. I clicked on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) drop down box and then went to 'edit server list'.
From here I was able to delete 2 servers that I do not use and the other 3 servers listed were listed against the correct e-mail addresses and accounts.
I then send an e-mail from each of the accounts to make sure I had it all set up right and each e-mail account sent and e-mail and received an e-mail without a problem.
Then I went back to iCal to accept an invite and it tried to send it using the wrong outgoing server for that e-mail account and I had the same problems as normal.
Any other ideas?

Unable to see ical invitation replies

Our household uses multiple Apple devices that are linked to my credit card for payment with ITunes, ICloud extra storage etc. Our family typically sends invitations to one another from iCal to our respective iCloud addresses. This entire process worked flawlessly until mid October when my wife, daughter, sons, etc. received invitations from me and replied. Their devices are showing they replied, but my iCal shows them as not replying and leaves the appointment grayed out in iCal. What is peculiar is that that there appears to by no rhyme or reason why this happens, but it was not long after we upgraded all of our machines to Mavericks.
Thank you.

An error in my posting: I do not see my appointments.

ICAL Email notification, stuck on communication with email server

Hi,
I know there is a ton of of these iCAL issues...
I was able to get by some initial issues and now am stuck at the email notifications not able to send.
Sending updates to an external address starts this chain of attempts to contact the mail server to send out the update. It repeats the following two segments repeatedly.
My cal error log shows:
2010-09-19 16:54:12-0700 [-] [caldav_task] 2010-09-19 16:54:12-0700 [-] [calendarserver.sidecar.task#debug] Checking for tasks

My mail access log shows:
Sep 19 16:48:52 beta dovecot[3149]: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=<iCAL Server IP>, lip=<Mail Server IP>

Sep 19 16:53:42 beta dovecot[3149]: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=<iCAL Server IP>, lip=<Mail Server IP>
Sep 19 16:53:42 beta dovecot[3149]: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=20639
The attempts to send notifications do not reach the SMTP.
My settings are correct in the notification settings (I created in OD and confirmed POP/IMAP/SMTP settings with mail clients), both POP/or IMAP (either don't work at this point) and SMTP are using SSL.
The keychains com.apple.servermgr_calendar and .invitations both list the same system account with the password populated. The only difference is that .invitations carries the FQDN after the username ([email protected])
I had seen with the default com.apple.calendarserver, it did more or less the same thing...
From what I could research, the "(no auth attempts)" seems to suggest the gateway or mail server is not accepting the method or has all methods of authentication closed... However this shouldn't be the case, both mail server and ical have SSL use set in their respective settings...
*(I understand that caldavd.plist has the option to hold a plain text password... however this is not currently in my caldavd.plist and I do not wish to use it. My mail server is set to only work with MD5 however... Issue perhaps?
Any advice so I can catch up to where everyone else is stuck at would be pretty cool!

I attempted to use com.apple.calendarserver again, but it does not authenticate at all on the mail server.
Both my created and the com.apple. seem to be stuck in only being able to authenticate in PLAIN. I have given in on this and enabled the PLAIN authentication. From here the server log said com.apple.calendarserver had the wrong authentication. I don't see how this can be the case... (the mail server is a OD replica itself)
So I went into WGM and merely re-pasted in what I had recorded onto the local account. The WGM goes on and on about how this com.apple.calendarserver is only a local account, but I don't see any way to make an OD account (I'm not sure if this is even critical) anyway so I'll leave it be.
So now both email and normal across-OD invitations function.
On invitation replies however I get this message in the mail access log:
deliver(com.apple.calendarserver): Sep 26 02:54:12 Info: msgid=<[email protected]l.outsi dedomain.com>: saved mail to INBOX
Sep 26 02:54:12 beta push_notify[2709]: error: <iq id='10003' to='[email protected]/push_notify' type='error' from='pubsub.beta.mydomain.com' xmlns='jabber:client'><pubsub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub'><publish node='/Public/IMAP/beta.mydomain.com/portnum/Mailbox/C8BA4F7E-6E65-4C97-8BCC-BC 3D28FAFE4B'><item><plistfrag xmlns='plist-apple'/></item></publish></pubsub><error type='cancel' code='404'><remote-server-not-found xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/></error></iq>
Otherwise it seems the SMTP sees the invitation reply and regurgitates back to the com.apple.calendarserver mail... What happens to it from there is a mystery.

HT2513 I updated the operating system on my Macbook to Mavericks OSX 10.9 the other day and now my iCal doesn't work. It gets stuck "moving calendars to server account" and never recovers. What can I do?

Choosing from which email address an ical invitation comes from

I have several email addresses and would like to choose each time from which email address my ical invitation comes from. Now it always comes from my work email address and I definitely do not want that. I went into my card in the address book and saw that my work email address was the top email address so I deleted that and entered it in again, hoping it would then be at the bottom but no, as soon as I saved my contact card the work email address sneaked up to the top.
How can I choose (without fiddling with the contact card) from which email address my ical invitation comes from?
Hope there is someone out there with a solution

I'm at work so I am not on my Mac but if memory serves me correctly, the email is sent from your default email address which is set in Apple Mail's preferences. Currently, I have my default send address set to "whichever account is selected".
So, in Mail if my MobileMe email address is selected, the invite is sent from MobileMe. If Gmail is selected, Gmail sends the invite.
Give that a try and see if it works.

Ical invitation mails with cryptic sender mail address

Hi everybody,
why do my ical invitation mail have a cryptic sender mail address so that no reply can be send successfully.
Sender mail address look like "<account name> <calenderserver+53b1b7f5-5277-4fb2-8e4e-c244cd7fc4cb@<domain>>". The part in bold typo is added automatically by ical server and depends on the ical event.
Looking forward to Your help.
Regards,
Christian

Am I correct to assume that you also have mail running on this same server?
If so, open up your Server Admin, go to Mail, then click on the Maintenance tab and look in the Accounts pane to see what user account that particular UUID# belongs to and you will have your answer

Astaro security gateway and ical invitations

When I want to reply to an ical invitation from an iCal server behind an Astaro Security Gateway, it's blocked by the Astaro. error 550: address unknown. I can understand that the astaro doesn't like addresses like [email protected]
Has anyone experience with Astaro gateways? Before I take it up with Astaro I want to know what other options I have. I don't know if it's possible to do some regex on the address, or filter by some unique header.
I do not manage the box. I'm just looking for information to provide to the people who do the support.
Help much appreciated.
Server OS 10.6.4

Hi
QM = Quick Mode = Phase 2.
Phase 1 is either Main Mode or aggresive mode.
So by the fact it is getting to QM that suggests phase 1 is working. What you do see if you do a "sh crypto isa sa" on the ASA ?
Can you check the phase 2 settings to ensure they match ie.
1) check your crypto map access-list and make sure that the local and remote subnet you have on your ASA matches the Astaro local and remote subnets
2) Explicitly set PFS in phase 2 and get them to do the same on the Astaro firewall.

Wrong "reply to" with iCal invite

Hi,
I've got a MacOS X Server running 10.6.6.
Everythings works fine with iCal except one thing.
When I send iCal invit. to the outside world, the reply-to that my mail program is getting is just a junk of numbers and letters like :
[email protected]
Is there a way to get rid of this ?
Thanks for help

Okay, so after spending several hours with Apple tech support I was able to resolve my problem, hope this helps. The user had manually synced their Address Book contacts with their iPhone and a Google contacts list. Both of these syncs as well as manually adding new contacts into the Address Book on their iMac caused the Address Book to get completely scrambled. The user had cards with no title, but as many as five (unrelated) email addresses assigned to the card. This same Address Book contained multiple address cards like this, yet each one was slightly different. The user also had cards with titles containing special characters (&;?-_/ etc.), the quick answer for me was, the user had o go through their Address Book on their iPhone and their iMac and completely descramble the bad data. Then before a fresh sync they had to turnoff sync with Google contacts within iTunes. Once the bad data was removed the invitee field with iCal immediately started to perform as expected without fail. What a relief to have this issue resolved.

Cannot put iCal invite onto my Exchange calendar

Hi there,
When I receive iCal invites and double-click them to open via iCal, they are always opened in my "Home" calendar under "On My Mac." I can't move the invite to my Exchange account. I've tried to delete all the folders "On My Mac" to no avail. Is there anyway to automatically put invites onto my Exchange calendar?
Thank you!
Davy

It was my fault, because this problem really a Kerio Mail Server faliure!

ICal invites are not received by some people (I know why, but Apple won't fix it)

I switched to icloud a while back and have the maddening problem of SOME people not receiving invites, and have discovered what causes it (at least in my case):
If the user you are sending to has an itunes (or apple id) account with that email as the login (and that email is NOT an icloud email) they will never receive the iCal invite! Instead it gets routed to their (non setup) icloud account. If they start using icloud for their calendars with this same external email address as login, they will receive them there (directly on their calendar if it is setup). Apple refuses to forward it to their real email address, the one we are sending it to. I have reported it to Apple several times but they are not inclined to fix it, probably because they want to force external users to use icloud. This is mega frustrating. Many of my friends do not receive invites, forcing me to use Google calendar for events with those friends. I prefer the general interface and look of icloud/ical invites, but I need to be able to actually invite people!

Not for me, but let me verify the following type scenario with you:
1. Your person to invite has a gmail address ([email protected])
2. That gmail address is their Apple ID/iTunes login name (this is the most important piece)
3. They may have some icloud service on (like note syncing) but do not use icloud calendaring or mail (or may have signed up for mail but never check it)
4. Your icloud/ical invite arrives properly in their gmail inbox (at [email protected])?
Is all the above true? For me, the above scenario results in no email being received at the address I sent it to (number 4), it gets routed/lost in icloud if that is their Apple ID login.
Like I said, I do not have the issue you have, all my invites are received regardless of the email provider and user ID's I just send to the correct address and that's it. Frankly if what you said was common the service would be useless, but it works for millions. The problem is at your end, not everybody's.
The login name is just a text string to iCloud, not an address.

ICal could not log into the caldav server

Hi,
I have a OS X Lion server that i am trying to set up for home. I have made an account for myself and have got mail running for it but when I go to turn on Calendars and Reminders, i get the error message iCal could not log into the caldav server "me.com". One I am not sure how this has anything to do with me but anyway, the mail compnent works. Also when i go to the folder webdav via browser servername/webdav/ i get permission denied. I also get and Unathorized message when I try to specifically access the calendar via adress https://servername:8443/calendars/users/username/ I mention the permission denied stuff because i am assuming they are all connected to the Calendar service (ie it runs on caldav which runs on webdav). can anyone help with this as I would like to get this working.

One possiblity is that the user you created has not been granted access to the calendar service. How did you create the user on the server, via Server.app?
Are you able to browse to https://servername:8443/principals/users/username/ (of course substituting the appropriate server and user names)

ICal reports that it can't find server, and lots of data from several years ago is trying to get attention. Cannot bring up calendar in any view to use. also keeps loading unused calendar websites from long ago. I can' remove them. what to do?

UPDATE: I had 36 Safari windows open and minimized on the dock from my last session; 20 of those windows failed to open b/c Safari "couldn't find the server"; I just went to the URL bar of all 20 pages and clicked return, and all 20 pages loaded perfectly, without dropping any images or losing formatting. This is a puzzle!!!

How to delete previous invitee from apple iCal invite list? When inviting "Joe" an old Email address shows up. This person is literally dead! (may he rest peacefull) and I can't find his Email address to delete anywhere. Not in my address book

When sending calendar invite to "invitee" an old address appears. This guy is literally dead (may he rest in peace) and has same first name as person I send to all the time. So "dead" guy always pops up. Can't find his address to delete anywhere -- not in previous recipients, not in my address book, does not "auto-populate" when I try to send an Email. Still shows up everytime I want to send iCal invite. Spooky. Help me delete this guy from my iCal invitee options so he can truly rest in peace. Thanks!
