Powershell send email

PowerShell provides several ways to send emails using various modules and commands. Here are a few examples:

Using the Send-MailMessage cmdlet

The Send-MailMessage cmdlet is a built-in PowerShell cmdlet that allows you to send emails using a variety of protocols, including SMTP, POP3, and IMAP.

Here's an example of how to use it:

Send-MailMessage -To "[email protected]" -From "[email protected]" -Subject "Test Email" -Body "This is a test email"

You can also specify additional parameters, such as:

• -SmtpServer to specify the SMTP server to use
• -Port to specify the port number to use
• -Credential to specify the credentials to use for authentication
• -Attachments to specify files to attach to the email

For example:

Send-MailMessage -To "[email protected]" -From "[email protected]" -Subject "Test Email" -Body "This is a test email" -SmtpServer "smtp.example.com" -Port 587 -Credential (Get-Credential)

Using the Exchange PowerShell module

If you have Exchange Server installed, you can use the Exchange PowerShell module to send emails.

Here's an example of how to use it:

Import-Module Exchange
Send-MailMessage -To "[email protected]" -From "[email protected]" -Subject "Test Email" -Body "This is a test email"

You can also use the New-MailMessage cmdlet to create a new email message and then send it using the Send-MailMessage cmdlet.

For example:

$mail = New-MailMessage -To "[email protected]" -From "[email protected]" -Subject "Test Email" -Body "This is a test email"
Send-MailMessage -To $mail.To -From $mail.From -Subject $mail.Subject -Body $mail.Body

Using a third-party module

There are several third-party modules available that provide additional functionality for sending emails in PowerShell. One popular example is the PowerShell-Mail module.

Here's an example of how to use it:

Import-Module PowerShell-Mail
Send-Mail -To "[email protected]" -From "[email protected]" -Subject "Test Email" -Body "This is a test email"

You can also use the New-Mail cmdlet to create a new email message and then send it using the Send-Mail cmdlet.

For example:

$mail = New-Mail -To "[email protected]" -From "[email protected]" -Subject "Test Email" -Body "This is a test email"
Send-Mail -To $mail.To -From $mail.From -Subject $mail.Subject -Body $mail.Body
