Send email using Powershell

July 19th, 2016

In a Powershell terminal, set the following:

$EmailFrom = "[email protected]"
$EmailTo = "[email protected]"
$Subject = "Test email"
$Body = "Testing to if email server works"
$SMTPServer = "mail.somecompany.com"
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SMTPServer, 465)
$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $true
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password")
$SMTPClient.Send($EmailFrom, $EmailTo, $Subject, $Body)
  • obviously, use your own settings…
