5.7.3 starttls is required to send mail powershell
A specific requirement!
To send mail using PowerShell, you need to use the Send-MailMessage
cmdlet, which requires a secure connection to the mail server. By default, Send-MailMessage
uses the SMTP
protocol, which is not secure.
To send mail securely, you need to use the STARTTLS
protocol, which is a secure extension to the SMTP
protocol. STARTTLS
allows you to establish a secure connection to the mail server before sending the mail.
To use STARTTLS
with Send-MailMessage
, you can specify the -UseSSL
parameter and set it to $true
. This will enable the STARTTLS
protocol for the connection.
Here's an example:
Send-MailMessage -To "[email protected]" -From "[email protected]" -Subject "Test email" -Body "This is a test email" -SmtpServer "smtp.example.com" -UseSSL $true
In this example, the -UseSSL
parameter is set to $true
, which enables the STARTTLS
protocol for the connection to the mail server smtp.example.com
.
Note that you may also need to specify the -Credential
parameter to provide the username and password for the mail server.
