iCloud Calendar invites not received

When I send meeting invites from my iCloud calendar, some recipients don't receive my invite emails. I think meeting invites are sent from a generic Apple address, something like noreply@apple.com (and not my own iCloud email address). The people who don't receive my emails tend to have email accounts hosted by Microsoft or Google.


I've seen that bad actors send bogus meeting invites via Apple's iCloud calendar system, thus I suspect that Apple's generic email address is being blocked as a source of spam. This makes sense.


Are there any clever work-arounds? I know I could send meeting invites from another calendar system such as a Microsoft Exchange calendar or a Google Workspace calendar. But, aside from that, is there any way I can improve the deliverability of my invite emails sent from my iCloud calendar?

Tim Hannon, I agree with your assessment. The invitation seems to be sent from noreply@email.apple.com although it will display a different label and, as you noted, a correct “reply to” address.


If that setup doesn’t meet your needs, you might consider asking potential meeting invitation recipients to be certain that can accept email messages from noreply@email.apple.com.

Hi sberman, Thanks for this suggestion. I got excited when I originally saw this article. Alas this article is a bit misleading since it indicates that you can control which email an invite is sent from. Based on my tests, Apple is really only lets users change the "reply to" address. In other words, based on my tests all calendar invite emails are sent From: a generic email address, something like no-reply@appl.com but the Reply-To: address can be customized using the instructions in that article.
