Check that the ActiveSync (Exchange) server has the latest service pack and CDO objects. I have had issues with meeting requests that synchronize to iPhones and Windows Mobile devices tht were resolved by updating the CDO objects to the current revision - Your CDO.DLL, DAVEX.DLL, EXCDO.DLL and CDOEX.DLL should be at least version 6.5.7654.1.
Delphineous,
Exchange 2007 has stopped updating these MAPI's with the install.
Starting with Exchange 2007, neither the Messaging API (MAPI) client libraries nor CDO 1.2.1 are provided as a part of the base product installation. As a result, there is functionality missing that many applications depend on. Microsoft Exchange MAPI and CDO 1.2.1 provide access to these APIs.
The message tracking center indicated it was sent from a SMTP address not the Display Name and the message header was coming from our front-end server which is used for OMA.
Since this was occuring only when sending our company wide invites, we created a mailbox for sending these type of mass invites.
We have the same issue as the original poster. Exchange 2003 is fully updated (including CDO/etc version 6.5.7654.12) and Clients are Outlook 2003. We have several iPhone users including at least one 3GS firmware 3.01 and they are having the same issues. It seems that when they send a meeting request, they get one or more copies of the request themselves (which normally doesn't happen, I believe). When they go to delete the request, it resends the request (without changes) to all invitees, and it doesn't prompt if the originator wants to update recipients (as it normally does). A vicious loop ensues.
RealLiving, Thanks for the input. Every little bit helps. We have found that if you turn Calendars off and on on the iPhone it will stop it from sending the notices for that meeting. At some point in time another meeting will meet the "unknown" conditions and the process will repeat for that meeting.
I was pretty happy a fix was out but after reading the bleow not sure if it is worth it.

On the older 2.x iPhone OS - we found that by turning off the WiFi on the iPhone will eliminate this problem. The WiFi data connection duplicating the synchronization even though your 3G push already did. This issue seem to be fixed in the latest 3.x iPhone OS. However, there are other calendar bug that comes with the current 3.1 OS. Oh well...

Was the meeting invitation sent to the iPhone or is the iPhone synchronizing the mailbox with a server?
