The smtp protocol was invented on Unix in the '70s, when Billy boy was

Sybrand,

SMTP is merely a transport protocol, Outlook calendaring events are
just plain text messages, so one can surely use SMTP to transfer them.
I think the OP intended to ask completely different question,
something like "what's the format of these events and how they can be
generated in PL/SQL."
