Introduction
This document describes Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SMTP E-Mail Gateway Release 5.3 and includes system requirements, new features, and outstanding caveats.
System Requirements
New installations of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SMTP E-Mail Gateway Release 5.3 require a Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS) dedicated to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace applications. Hardware configuration is based on the number of voice and web-conferencing user licenses (ports) on your system.
Upgrading to Release 5.3 requires a Cisco MCS or exact HP or IBM equivalent. If you are not using an exact HP or IBM equivalent, you must install Release 5.3 as a new installation on a supported Cisco MCS.
Table 1 provides information about system requirements for the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SMTP E-Mail Gateway Release 5.3.
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Product Compatibility
For information about the interoperability among the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace products, see the "Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Product Compatibility Matrix" section of the Installation Planning Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 5.3 at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/ps5664/ps5669/prod_installation_guides_list.html
Cisco Security Agent
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SMTP E-Mail Gateway Release 5.3 is not compatible with Cisco Security Agent (CSA). We recommend that you do not install Cisco Security Agent on a gateway server where Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SMTP E-Mail Gateway Release 5.3 is or will be installed.
If Cisco Security Agent is installed on an end-user system, users will see a security alert when they attempt to use the application-sharing feature. Users can choose to proceed with the feature and use application-sharing without difficulty.

Installation Notes
Note
Upgrading a legacy Cisco MeetingPlace SMTP E-Mail Gateway system (such as Release 4.3) to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SMTP E-Mail Gateway Release 5.3 requires a legacy third-party Windows server with system specifications comparable to Cisco MCS specifications required for the same deployment. For information on Cisco MCS specifications, see the following URL:

The Cisco Technical Support Website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources. In addition, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not hold a valid Cisco service contract, contact your reseller.

Note
Submitting a Service Request
Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/contacts
Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
