Hello everyone,
I moved my calendar to my server (I have no problem with iCloud, but server gives me the ability to check availability...). I try to enable invitation by email but it's just not work.
steps I made:
  1. I've created an user with specific email for calendar invitations only.
  2. I filled in all the details into the edit invitation settings (the full server address, user and password. for SMTP I also made the same).
I tried to create an event and invite other user (which uses iCloud for calendar and gmail for email), but the email invitation never arrived. I also tried with and without SSL...
after that I tried to create an event on the other computer and invite my server user and my regular iCloud user. while the invitation sent to my iCloud user arrived directly into my calendar app and a notification popped and asked if I want to accept or decline the invitation, the invitation sent to my server account arrived to my email where I need to select if I want to accept or not the invitation. aster I accepted the invitation the event isn't appear in my calendar automatically and I need to download the event file and add it manually.
there is a way to solve this two issues?

Thanks!

Hi kiwipeso1,
maybe wrong link? =] the link you shared deals with calendar spam (or maybe because of this spams my service not working - Apple / Google blocking this kind of traffic...?)
