Powershell Automated Email - powershell

Question

new to the forum, so apologises if this in the wrong area.
I am looking to create a powershell script which emails a list (.txt) file consisting of 200 emails, the text file will be updated aswell with new email addresses. The email body which will be send is a standard (generic) email, nothing specific to each email address.
Is this possible?
This is the script I have so far, but its not sending the email..
$emails = #()
ForEach ($recipient in Get-Content "\\FILE Location")
{
$emails += "$recipient"
}
$to = "TO EMAIL"
$smtp = "SMTP Server"
$from = "FROM EMAIL"
$subject = "Subject"
$body = "EMAIL BODY"
send-MailMessage -SmtpServer $smtp -To $to -Bcc $emails -From $from -Subject $subject -Body $body -BodyAsHtml -Priority high
Thanks in advance
Matt.

In these situations it may be best to create the objects yourself. I would set it up like so:
$smtpServer = "SMTP Server"
$smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer)
$smtpCredentialsUsername = "blah#blah.com"
$smtpCredentialsPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String $smtpPwd -AsPlainText -Force
$Credentials = New-Object –TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential –ArgumentList
$smtpCredentialsUsername, $smtpCredentialsPassword
$smtp.Credentials = $Credentials
$msg = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage
$msg.Body = $body
$msg.Subject = $subject
$msg.From = $from
$msg.To.ADD($to)
$msg.IsBodyHtml = $true
ForEach ($recipient in Get-Content "\\FILE Location")
{
$msg.Bcc.ADD($recipient)
}
$smtp.Send($msg)
$msg.Dispose();
