How do I block spam calendar invitation emails?

A lot of people have reported this in the past few days.

I believe if you go to iCloud.com, calendars, settings, advanced, and select "receive notifications as" and select your email instead of "in-app notifications" this should be better.

For IOS, but adaptable for OS.

Calendar and Photos SPAM Invites

Same deal, I was just going to ask the same question.

They spam the name, here are 3 images. Except for my name. I "Declined" it last night and it was removed only to see it again today.

I will look into Williams suggestion.

BTW: I really don't like other people getting into my computer, like what this company has done with Calendars.

Nobody has "gotten into your computer." They are sending you invitations to your calendar account. This is no different than email spam, it's just to your calendar via the standard calendaring protocol instead of to your mail client via the standard email protocol. If you follow my instructions above you can make this problem go away.

Apple also needs to start spam blocking calendar invites, apparently 😟

That's good, because nobody has.

Also see this link from another thread:

Technically, NO, Technically YES.

Personally I would beat these people up if I found them in my house, or worst. But they're really not there.

Thanks.

Just found this in my calendar ... clearly someone has snuck in and I would like to (a) remove this invite without notifying the sender (because that would confirm to the sender that he has been successful in impregnating my calendar), and (b) block such things in the future.

When I try to delete this calendar entry, this is what pops up ... NO, I don't want to Decline this and I don't want confirmation going to the scumbag spammer.

Is there another way to get this crap off my calendar?

macOS Sierra 10.12.1.

Yes. See my link above 😝

It's amusing that the page you linked to immediately pops up the information that is can send notifications to you. But at least you can decline.

Brilliant fix for this problem:

You may be identifying with this a little too personally

Hi, I'm not to sure what I did...because I sifuhgpiursfy 🙂

I did create a SPAM folder, I then dragged the spam to the SPAM folder, I then hit delete from Edit.

At this time it has worked, it has gone, I restarted my computer after doing this, and nothing has come back so far.

We'll see????

Thanks for the idea of the SPAM folder where it started from.

"standard calendaring protocol"

If there is std protocol, then Apple knew full well that people's calendars would be spammed and obviously, Apple didn't care to preempt it.

Calendars are almost always far more private than email, with invites limited only to people you know. There is nothing within Apples "standard calendaring protocol" that appears to support a REAL calendar, such as, by default, the only invitations that are allowed are those in your contacts. Or in the case of a business, a business-wide contact list. The fact that a stranger can hit my calendar with an invitation shows that Apple apps are not serious tools.
