response to Outlook meeting invites add colon to email addresses

[mingus8686]

Zimbra 6.0.7.1
CentOS 5.4
Clients using ZD 1_0_4_build_1833

I am seeing an issue where a user receives an Outlook meeting invite and a colon is added to the email addresses of each of the invitees, rendering them undeliverable(for an accept or decline). Can anyone shed light on this I'm not sure where the offending colon originates.

i.e
invitees: "null" <:Bilbo.Baggins@middleearth.com>; "null" <:Frodo.Baggins@middleearth.com>; "null" <:Gandalf.Grey@middleearth.com>; "null" <:Galdalf.White@middleearth.com>

Searching the forum rendered no helpful info, perhaps someone else has better SearchFu.

Thank you

You have the same problem using the Outlook Connector, the Web UI or Zimbra Desktop? Where are these meeting invites being received and what client is used to send them?

No, in my case I get a invitation from a external exchange server. eMail attached with a meeting.ics file. The appointment gets correct to zimbra calendar but the Requester eMail address is wrong:

meeting.ics file contains:
ORGANIZER;CN=:MAILTO:user.name@domain.com

zimbra converts this to:
ORGANIZER;CN=null::user.name@domain.com

and this converts to -> "null" <:user.name@domain.com>

:user.name@domain.com should be user.name@domain.com

I just did a check in zimbra 5.0.22 and 6.0.7.1 both do the same email
address error

I can't see any outstanding bugs for that behaviour so I'd suggest you open a support case and/or file a bug report.
