iCal yields "Error during PUT for mailto:valid@email: iMIP request failed"

Hello,

I'm trying to bring up an iCal server (using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 Server on a Mac Mini). The basic configuration runs fine. But when I tried to enable eMail invitations, I got stuck with those messages in the error log:

[twistedcaldav.scheduling.imip#error] Could not do server-to-imip request : <twistedcaldav.scheduling.imip.ScheduleViaIMip object at 0x10075e5d0> User timeout caused connection failure.

[twistedcaldav.scheduling.scheduler.ScheduleResponseQueue#error] Error during PUT for mailto:valid@email: iMIP request failed

My configuration settings:

calendar:Scheduling:CalDAV:EmailDomain = ""

calendar:Scheduling:CalDAV:HTTPDomain = ""

calendar:Scheduling:CalDAV:AddressPatterns = _empty_array

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Server = "valid.mail.server"

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:UseSSL = no

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Username = "valid@email"

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Address = "valid@email"

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Password = "safe_password"

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Port = 25

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Enabled = yes

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:MailGatewayPort = 62310

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Server = "valid.mail.server"

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:UseSSL = yes

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Username = "valid_email"

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:PollingSeconds = 30

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Type = "imap"

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Password = "safe_password"

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Port = 993

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:AddressPatterns:_array_index:0 = "mailto:.*"

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:MailGatewayServer = "valid.mail.server"

calendar:Scheduling:iSchedule:Enabled = no

calendar:Scheduling:iSchedule:Servers = "servertoserver.xml"

calendar:Scheduling:iSchedule:AddressPatterns = _empty_array

It does not even try to connect to the given smtp server. How do I proceed?

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

I dug into the sources, and am now smarter 🙂

the above settings are invalid, because of the gateway (this has to be iCal itself):

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:MailGatewayServer = "localhost"

Now the IMAP server is being asked, but now I have the next problem:

i entered this configuration (note the little change to the one above):

calendar:Scheduling:CalDAV:EmailDomain = ""

calendar:Scheduling:CalDAV:HTTPDomain = ""

calendar:Scheduling:CalDAV:AddressPatterns = _empty_array

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Server = "valid.mail.server"

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:UseSSL = no

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Username = "valid@email"

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Address = "valid@email"

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Password = "safe_password"

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Port = 25

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Enabled = yes

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:MailGatewayPort = 62310

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Server = "valid.mail.server"

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:UseSSL = yes

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Username = "valid_email"

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:PollingSeconds = 30

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Type = "imap"

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Password = "safe_password"

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Port = 993

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:AddressPatterns:_array_index:0 = "mailto:.*"

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:MailGatewayServer = "localhost"

calendar:Scheduling:iSchedule:Enabled = no

calendar:Scheduling:iSchedule:Servers = "servertoserver.xml"

calendar:Scheduling:iSchedule:AddressPatterns = _empty_array

the second error I got, was in fact wrong.

I have working on this for days, but I can now send a invitation to external emailadresses.

The trick was, that I set the outgoing server authentication type on None.

It is now working, but I don't get a response on the invitation. That's the next step!

It is working now!!!!!

My test computer was not sending mail. That's the reason that I didn't get a response from my invitation.

So the only thing I did was set the outgoing authentication type on "None".

I hope this will work for yu guys.

Just for the record to expect to always get responses to external invitations that you send/recieve. While CalDAV is an open standard not every company uses it or uses it in a way that will allow your calendar systems to talk perfectly with each other. It'd be nice if they would though. :-)
