About Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SMTP E-Mail Gateway
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SMTP E-Mail Gateway is a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace application that
you install on a Microsoft Windows server. This application allows Cisco Unified MeetingPlace to use
your corporate Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) e-mail server to distribute e-mail notifications to
invited participants about meetings that are scheduled by using Cisco Unified MeetingPlace. Cisco
Unified MeetingPlace SMTP E-Mail Gateway distributes e-mail notifications when a meeting is
scheduled, changes are made, or the meeting is canceled.
The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SMTP E-Mail Gateway allows you to do the following:
• Distribute e-mail notifications for scheduled, rescheduled, or canceled Cisco Unified MeetingPlace
meetings
• Distribute meeting attachments with meeting notifications
• Provide a link in the e-mail notification that users can use to join the audio, data, or video portion
of a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace meeting
• Notify the meeting scheduler that consecutive meetings have not been attended or that the term set
for scheduled meetings is about to expire
