I'm interested in using Powershell to send e-mail through Outlook using a single line of code. The closest thing I've found is this command for Gmail:
Send-MailMessage -smtpServer 'smtp.gmail.com' -port 587 -from 'myself#gmail.com' -to 'myself#gmail.com' -subject 'Test' -body 'Body' –UseSsl
But I want to do something similar with Outlook. Is there a way to take the short script below and turn it into a single line of code? Thanks!
$Outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
$Mail = $Outlook.CreateItem(0)
$Mail.To = "name#domain.com"
$Mail.Subject = "Subject of E-Mail"
$Mail.Body ="Text of Body"
$Mail.Send()
$Outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application;$Mail = $Outlook.CreateItem(0);$Mail.To = "name#domain.com";$Mail.Subject = "Subject of E-Mail";$Mail.Body ="Text of Body";$Mail.Send()

I've been using the below script to send email and sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. I'm not sure exactly why it is intermittent and with this error:
"ERROR: The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: Authentication required"
This is the script I'm using:
$AWS_ACCESS_KEY = "KEYYYYYYYYYY"
$AWS_SECRET_KEY = "SECRET_KEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"
$SECURE_KEY = $(ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -String $AWS_SECRET_KEY -Force)
$creds = $(New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($AWS_ACCESS_KEY, $SECURE_KEY))
$smtp = "email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"
$from = "noreply#domain.com"
$to = "to_you#domain.com"
$bcc = "its_me#domain.com"
$subject = "Hello There"
$body = "Hey Friend!<br><br>"
$body += "Body<br><br>"
$body += "Regards,<br>"
$body += "Bye<br>"
#Sending email
Sleep 2
Send-MailMessage -From $from -To $to -Bcc $bcc -Subject $subject -Body $body -BodyAsHtml -SmtpServer $smtp -Credential $creds -UseSsl -Port 587
What could be the issue? Has anyone seen this before? Any log in AWS console that I could look at?
Thanks!
I also faced a similar issue managed to resolve with the below codes.
$smtpServer = "email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"
$smtpPort = 587
$username = "************"
$password = "***********************"
$from = "alerts#test.com"
$to = "recipient#domain.com"
$subject = "Amazon SES Test Email"
$body = "Body Amazon SES Test Email"
$cc = "xyz#domain.com"
$smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer, $smtpPort)
$smtp.EnableSsl = $true
$smtp.Credentials = new-object Net.NetworkCredential($username, $password)
$msg = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage
$msg.From = $from
$msg.To.Add($to)
$msg.CC.Add($cc)
$msg.Subject = $subject
$smtp.Send($msg)
$msg.Body = $body
I have the following program:
Function Email{
param ($to, $Subject, $Body, $Attachment)
if($process=(get-process 'outlook'))
{
kill($process)
Stop-Process $process -Force
#$namespace = $outlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
#$namespace.Logon("outlook")
}
$Outlook = New-Object -Com Outlook.Application
$session = $outlook.Session
$session.Logon("Outlook")
$Mail = $Outlook.CreateItem(0)
foreach ($person in $to){
$Mail.Recipients.add($person)
}
$Mail.Subject = $Subject
$Mail.Body = $Body
$Mail.Attachments.Add($Attachment)
$Mail.Send()
}
When tested in ISE and in batch, it functions as expected. However, when used in another powershell script, it randomly causes the script to hang up and I cannot open outlook manually due to an error about multiple instances.
How can I re-write this to properly account for an instance of outlook running (or at least so that it doesn't cause a script that uses it to hang up)?
Update: I have also tried it as:
Function Email{
param ($to, $Subject, $Body, $Attachment)
$Creds = Import-CliXml c:\localdata\cred.clixml
$username= myemail
Send-MailMessage -To $to -subject $Subject -body $Body -Attachment $Attachment -UseSsl -Port 587 -SmtpServer smtp.office365.com -From $username -Credential $creds
}
and I cannot get past the "cannot connect to remote server" error
Running telnet smtp.office365.com 587 or telnet smtp.office365.com 25 doesn't seem to return anything.
I want to send a CSV file in this e-mail.
I can send the email with no problem, but I tried a lot to send attachment with it, but at the end the e-mail was sent without the attachment.
function sendmail($Body) {
$Smtp = New-Object System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
$MailMessage = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
$Smtp.Host = "smtp-server"
$MailMessage.From = "sender#example.com"
$MailMessage.To.Add("recipient#example.org")
$MailMessage.Subject = "Hello"
$MailMessage.Body = $Body
$smtp.Port = 25
$smtp.EnableSsl = $false
$Smtp.Send($MailMessage)
}
$Body = "12334"
sendmail $Body
The e-mail just have to look like this:
Hello, all the information are in the file Example.csv
Send-MailMessage has a direct way of handling the attachments. Below is the sample.
Send-MailMessage -From "User01 <user01#example.com>" `
-To "User02 <user02#example.com>", `
"User03 <user03#example.com>" `
-Subject "Sending the Attachment" `
-Body "Forgot to send the attachment. Sending now." `
-Attachment "data.csv" -SmtpServer smtp.fabrikam.com
OR, you should use System.Net.Mail.MailMessage, then you have to use:
$EmailFrom = "<user#domain.tld>"
$EmailTo = "<user#domain.tld>"
$EmailSubject = "<email subject"
$SMTPServer = "smtphost.domain.tld"
$SMTPAuthUsername = "username"
$SMTPAuthPassword = "password"
$emailattachment = "<full path to attachment file.csv>"
function send_email {
$mailmessage = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
$mailmessage.From = ($emailfrom)
$mailmessage.To.Add($emailto)
$mailmessage.Subject = $emailsubject
$mailmessage.Body = $emailbody
$attachment = New-Object System.Net.Mail.Attachment($emailattachment, 'text/plain')
$mailmessage.Attachments.Add($attachment)
#$mailmessage.IsBodyHTML = $true
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SmtpServer, 25)
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("$SMTPAuthUsername", "$SMTPAuthPassword")
$SMTPClient.Send($mailmessage)
}

How to send an email from yahoo SMTP server with PowerShell v3? Authentication is required.
Send-MailMessage has a -Credential parameter that takes a pscredential object. I would use a hashtable to store and splat the connection arguments:
$MailArgs = #{
From = 'mindaugas#yahoo.com'
To = 'someone#domain.com'
Subject = 'A subject line'
Body = 'Mail message content goes here!'
SmtpServer = 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com'
Port = 587
UseSsl = $true
Credential = New-Object pscredential 'mindaugas#yahoo.com',$('P#ssW0rd!' |ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)
}
Send-MailMessage #MailArgs
in case somebody looking for google smtp using MailMessage
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Net")
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Net.Mail") [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Net.Mail.MailMessage")
$mail = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
$mail.From = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("XXXX#gmail.com");
$mail.To.Add("XXX#XXXX.com");
$mail.Subject = "Place Subject of email here";
$mail.Body = "Place body content here";
$smtp = New-Object System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
$smtp.Port = "587";
$smtp.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("XXXXX#gmail.com", "password");
$smtp.EnableSsl = "true";
$smtp.Send($mail);
This finally worked for me for SBCGlobal.net since the secure mail key at Yahoo:
$from = "name#sbcglobal.net"
$secpass = ConvertTo-SecureString "<SecureMailKeyPassword>" -AsPlainText -Force
$mycred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($from, $secpass)
Send-MailMessage -SmtpServer 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com' -UseSsl -Port 587 -Credential $mycred -To <name#sbcglobal.net> -From <name#sbcglobal.net> -Subject '<Subject>' -Body '<Message>'
I am trying to send an e-mail through Powershell. I can send e-mails to one recipient without a problem using the code below. However, when I add a second recipient to the $EmailTo variable, I do not get the e-mail. I do not get any errors either. I did some research and it appears that the SMTP Client way of sending e-mails does not take multiple recipients.
$EmailFrom = "sender#email.com"
$EmailTo = "recipient1#email.com"
$EmailBody = "Test Body"
$EmailSubject = "Test Subject"
$Username = "carlos#email.com"
$Password = "12345"
$Message = New-Object Net.Mail.MailMessage($EmailFrom, $EmailTo, $EmailSubject, $EmailBody)
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient("smtp.com", 123) #Port can be changed
$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $true
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($Username, $Password);
$SMTPClient.Send($Message)
I tried with the Send-MailMessage command but it is giving me issues.
Send-MailMessage -from $EmailFrom -to $EmailTo -Subject $EmailSubject `
-smtpserver smtp.com -usessl `
-credential (new-object System.NetworkCredential("$Username","$Password"))
The error I get with this is
Cannot find type [System.NetworkCredential]...
Any ideas on what the best way to send emails to multiple recipients with authentication would be?
Make sure you separate your $EmailTo address list with commas and don't pass as an array. i.e:
Do this:
$EmailTo = "recipient1#email.com,recipient2#email.com"
Don't do this:
$EmailTo = "recipient1#email.com","recipient2#email.com"
or this:
$EmailTo = "recipient1#email.com;recipient2#email.com"
That last one would throw the following exception which you'd easily notice:
New-Object : Exception calling ".ctor" with "4" argument(s): "The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address."
The class name is System.Net.NetworkCredential, not System.NetworkCredential.
Change this:
Send-MailMessage -from $EmailFrom -to $EmailTo -Subject $EmailSubject `
-smtpserver smtp.com -usessl `
-credential (new-object System.NetworkCredential("$Username","$Password"))
into this:
Send-MailMessage -From $EmailFrom -To $EmailTo -Subject $EmailSubject `
-SmtpServer smtp.com -UseSsl `
-Credential (New-Object Net.NetworkCredential($Username, $Password))
and the problem should disappear.
