Problem Description
Starting a few days ago, my gmail is getting meeting accept/decline emails from the .ogcs addresses of the attendees. I don't recall seeing this behavior before. I prefer to sync attendees so I can see who's in the meeting on my non-work phone's Google Calendar. Thanks for the great software!

Event Responses was set to Email, so I set it to None. I'll let you know if the unexpected emails continue. Thanks for the help! Happy new year!

The .ogcs emails aren't real, so I don't think you can be getting accept/decline emails from them. More likely you are getting undeliverable responses to your invitations or your attendance responses to meeting organiser by another?

See the wiki for information on what the .ogcs feature is for - I strongly suspect OGCS is protecting you in exactly the way it was designed.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure that I understand your reply. Do the attached screenshots from gmail help explain what I'm seeing? Note that this particular meeting request was not created/organized by me, I'm just an invitee. Thanks!

So given the attendee to the Event has an email address ending .ogcs then this can't be a legitimate response from the attendee. If you go to the settings of the web view for the Google calendar being synced to by OGCS, what are your notification settings?
