Fun with PowerShell:Send email
Using PowerShell now you can send email.
You can use Send-Mailmessage Cmdlets to send email. Here a code
send-mailmessage –To recipient@domain –From sender@domain –subject subject –body “Email Message” –smtpserver yoursmtpserver
However, if you are in open proxy then you may experience spamcop . However if you have in premise. Exchange then you can send Email. In my example i setup local smtp server.
If your mail server support SSL then you may use –usessl . You may authenticate to your smtp server using –credential switch.
Here is the manuals for Send-MailMessage cmdlets
