This is most commonly experienced on certain Corporate Networks. Web based e-mail services may filter Webex invite e-mails to the Bulk Mail or Junk Mail folder.
Cause:
SPAM filters that block junk email are often implemented for corporate mail servers by the mail administrator(s). Webex Emails are sent from an automated mail server. This leaves certain headers in the invites that may stop attendees from receiving the invite. Typically the IT group on the attendee's end must modify SPAM filtering on their network.
Solution:
To confirm if Webex is sending invitations properly:
- While logged into the Webex website as a host, invite yourself to the meeting using a 3rd party e-mail provider such as Yahoo, MSN, GMail, Hotmail, etc.
- If you receive the invitation, and the original invitation emails did not arrive at their destination address, the emails could have likely been filtered by their email server.
If signs point to a mail server filtering issue, advise the attendee to have their IT department investigate. Invite yourself to the meeting and email it to the affected attendee directly.
