Send ics file RSVP format not working properly using Outlook smtp server?












2















I have a code that works well when using gmail smtp server with my personal credentials :



fun sendEventInvitation(from: Profile, to: Profile, meetup: Meetup) {
val message: MimeMessage = emailSender.createMimeMessage()

message.setFrom(InternetAddress("foo1@foo1.com"))
message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress("foo2@foo2.com"))
message.subject = "foo"

val messageBodyEvent = MimeBodyPart()
val id = UUID.randomUUID().toString()
val eventIcs = formatCalendarFile(id, from, to, meetup)
messageBodyEvent.dataHandler = DataHandler(ByteArrayDataSource(eventIcs, "text/calendar; charset="utf-8"; method=REQUEST"))
messageBodyEvent.setHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "base64")

val multiPart = MimeMultipart()
multiPart.addBodyPart(messageBodyEvent)

message.setContent(multiPart)

emailSender.send(message)
}


eventIcs is basically a String of an iCal correct format.



But whenever I switch to the outlook server using company's credentials, It gives the following error :



554 5.2.0 STOREDRV.Submission.Exception:InvalidRecipientsException; Failed to process message due to a permanent exception with message A message can't be sent because it contains no recipients. InvalidRecipientsException: A message can't be sent because it contains no recipients. [Hostname=AM6PR01MB5011.eurprd01.prod.exchangelabs.com]
DEBUG SMTP: got response code 554, with response: 554 5.2.0 STOREDRV.Submission.Exception:InvalidRecipientsException; Failed to process message due to a permanent exception with message A message can't be sent because it contains no recipients. InvalidRecipientsException: A message can't be sent because it contains no recipients. [Hostname=AM6PR01MB5011.eurprd01.prod.exchangelabs.com]


Now, weirdly enough, when I remove the method=REQUEST attachment header :



messageBodyEvent.dataHandler = DataHandler(ByteArrayDataSource(eventIcs, "text/calendar; charset="utf-8"))


It works but because there's not this header, the ICS isn't well recognized by Outlook client and doesn't display RSVP options to the recipients as explained here.



I tried to send an invitation from Thunderbird using the same credentials and it works. So it's not link to rules whatsoever.



Here is the complete debug output :

  • That's pretty weird. You message clearly has recipients so that's not what it's complaining about. The fact that the message is delivered when you remove method=REQUEST suggests that it's complaining about something in the calendar appointment. Should the calendar appointment also mention foo2@foo2.com somehow? Maybe the invitation needs to mention the person you're sending the message to?

  • The person email is mentioned in the invitation as an attendee so that's not the problem... I'll try to focus my debug in the calendar. Thanks for the suggestion!

I have a code that works well when using gmail smtp server with my personal credentials :



fun sendEventInvitation(from: Profile, to: Profile, meetup: Meetup) {
val message: MimeMessage = emailSender.createMimeMessage()

message.setFrom(InternetAddress("foo1@foo1.com"))
message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress("foo2@foo2.com"))
message.subject = "foo"

val messageBodyEvent = MimeBodyPart()
val id = UUID.randomUUID().toString()
val eventIcs = formatCalendarFile(id, from, to, meetup)
messageBodyEvent.dataHandler = DataHandler(ByteArrayDataSource(eventIcs, "text/calendar; charset="utf-8"; method=REQUEST"))
messageBodyEvent.setHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "base64")

val multiPart = MimeMultipart()
multiPart.addBodyPart(messageBodyEvent)

message.setContent(multiPart)

emailSender.send(message)
}


eventIcs is basically a String of an iCal correct format.



But whenever I switch to the outlook server using company's credentials, It gives the following error :



554 5.2.0 STOREDRV.Submission.Exception:InvalidRecipientsException; Failed to process message due to a permanent exception with message A message can't be sent because it contains no recipients. InvalidRecipientsException: A message can't be sent because it contains no recipients. [Hostname=AM6PR01MB5011.eurprd01.prod.exchangelabs.com]
DEBUG SMTP: got response code 554, with response: 554 5.2.0 STOREDRV.Submission.Exception:InvalidRecipientsException; Failed to process message due to a permanent exception with message A message can't be sent because it contains no recipients. InvalidRecipientsException: A message can't be sent because it contains no recipients. [Hostname=AM6PR01MB5011.eurprd01.prod.exchangelabs.com]


Now, weirdly enough, when I remove the method=REQUEST attachment header :



messageBodyEvent.dataHandler = DataHandler(ByteArrayDataSource(eventIcs, "text/calendar; charset="utf-8"))


It works but because there's not this header, the ICS isn't well recognized by Outlook client and doesn't display RSVP options to the recipients as explained here.



I tried to send an invitation from Thunderbird using the same credentials and it works. So it's not link to rules whatsoever.

  • That's pretty weird. You message clearly has recipients so that's not what it's complaining about. The fact that the message is delivered when you remove method=REQUEST suggests that it's complaining about something in the calendar appointment. Should the calendar appointment also mention foo2@foo2.com somehow? Maybe the invitation needs to mention the person you're sending the message to?

As mentioned @Bill Shannon in the comment section, the problem came from the calendar formatting.



You need to make sure your ics pass this kind of validator.



For example, in my implementation :



"""BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//GRTgaz Corporation//NONSGML Togaz'er//FR
METHOD:REQUEST
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:$id
ORGANIZER;RSVP=FALSE;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;
ROLE=CHAIR:mailto:SVC_ToGazer@uccint.onmicrosoft.com
ATTENDEE;RSVP=FALSE;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;
ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT:mailto:${to.email}
DTSTAMP:${startDate[0]}T${startDate[1]}Z
DTSTART:${startDate[0]}T${startDate[1]}
DTEND:${endDate[0]}T${endDate[1]}
SUMMARY:${meetup.name}
LOCATION:${meetup.address}
DESCRIPTION:${meetup.description}
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
"""


The ORGANIZER and ATTENDEE props weren't valid. the property ROLE must be in the same line. So I modified it to:



"""BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//GRTgaz Corporation//NONSGML Togaz'er//FR
METHOD:REQUEST
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:$id
ORGANIZER;RSVP=FALSE;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;ROLE=CHAIR
:mailto:SVC_ToGazer@uccint.onmicrosoft.com
ATTENDEE;RSVP=FALSE;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT
:mailto:${to.email}
DTSTAMP:${startDate[0]}T${startDate[1]}Z
DTSTART:${startDate[0]}T${startDate[1]}
DTEND:${endDate[0]}T${endDate[1]}
SUMMARY:${meetup.name}
LOCATION:${meetup.address}
DESCRIPTION:${meetup.description}
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
"""


Now, it works properly.

    As mentioned @Bill Shannon in the comment section, the problem came from the calendar formatting.



    You need to make sure your ics pass this kind of validator.



    For example, in my implementation :



    """BEGIN:VCALENDAR
    VERSION:2.0
    PRODID:-//GRTgaz Corporation//NONSGML Togaz'er//FR
    METHOD:REQUEST
    BEGIN:VEVENT
    UID:$id
    ORGANIZER;RSVP=FALSE;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;
    ROLE=CHAIR:mailto:SVC_ToGazer@uccint.onmicrosoft.com
    ATTENDEE;RSVP=FALSE;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;
    ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT:mailto:${to.email}
    DTSTAMP:${startDate[0]}T${startDate[1]}Z
    DTSTART:${startDate[0]}T${startDate[1]}
    DTEND:${endDate[0]}T${endDate[1]}
    SUMMARY:${meetup.name}
    LOCATION:${meetup.address}
    DESCRIPTION:${meetup.description}
    END:VEVENT
    END:VCALENDAR
    """


    The ORGANIZER and ATTENDEE props weren't valid. the property ROLE must be in the same line. So I modified it to:



    """BEGIN:VCALENDAR
    VERSION:2.0
    PRODID:-//GRTgaz Corporation//NONSGML Togaz'er//FR
    METHOD:REQUEST
    BEGIN:VEVENT
    UID:$id
    ORGANIZER;RSVP=FALSE;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;ROLE=CHAIR
    :mailto:SVC_ToGazer@uccint.onmicrosoft.com
    ATTENDEE;RSVP=FALSE;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT
    :mailto:${to.email}
    DTSTAMP:${startDate[0]}T${startDate[1]}Z
    DTSTART:${startDate[0]}T${startDate[1]}
    DTEND:${endDate[0]}T${endDate[1]}
    SUMMARY:${meetup.name}
    LOCATION:${meetup.address}
    DESCRIPTION:${meetup.description}
    END:VEVENT
    END:VCALENDAR
    """


    Now, it works properly.
