Sending An Email from PowerShell

It’s easy to send an email from PowerShell, and it’s really useful for notifying yourself of the completion of a long-running script.

It’s also a way to document what ran when, if you are like me and running hundreds of scripts and need a way to organize documentation on when you run things.

Just alter the parameters below, and let ‘er rip and spam yourself!

   param(  
        [string] $From = "server@joelDomain.com",
        [string] $To = "joelplaut@joelDomain.com",
        [string] $Title = "title",
        [string] $Body = "body"
    )
    $SmtpClient = New-Object System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
    $SmtpServer = "mail.domainserver.com"
    $SmtpClient.host = $SmtpServer
    $SmtpClient.Send($From,$To,$Title,$Body)
