iCal event invitation failures due to missing/malformed email addresses
These problems, although slightly different, appear in both 10.5.8 and 10.6.1. I don't see in the release notes that this was addressed in 10.6.2, but I have not installed it yet.
In 10.5.8, sometimes when a user is invited through the iCal invitation, an email is (attempted) to send with no email address in the to field; it's completely blank, and the mail server rejects it with a bounce message. Below is an example of the bounce message:
+This is an informative message sent by mail.xxx.com.+
+The server was not able to deliver your email message+
+Subject: xxx+
+Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 22:38:54 -0400+
+to the following addresses:+
+*<invalid:nomail> (mail.xxx.com: Mailbox does not exist)*+
10.6.1, instead of the full email address being included in the invitation, some additional information gets put in the email address section (see the bold section):
+From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <postmaster@mail.xxx.com>+
+Date: November 11, 2009 3:35:51 PM EST+
+To: <moore@xxx.com>+
+Subject: Returned email: tes+
+This is an informative message sent by mail.xxx.com.+
+The server was not able to deliver your email message+
+Subject: tes+

Note how it's including /caldav/users/ in with the email address.
