Lion Server: iCalendar Message-Based Interoperability Protocol (iMIP) support

Summary

The Calendar service in Lion Server can support email invitations via iMIP (iCalendar Message-Based Interoperability Protocol) that require the server to have access to an IMAP server for incoming mail and an SMTP server for outbound mail.

Products Affected

Lion Server

The incoming IMAP email service must support "plus addressing", the addition of a plus (+) sign and a tag to the name portion of the email address to create a sub-address which the Calendar Server uses to recognize an invitation reply.

If invitation responses are not being acknowledged by the Calendar Server, please check with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to verify that “plus addressing” is supported through their mail servers.

Additional Information

For details about "plus addressing," see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5233#section-3.
