Summary

Windows PowerShell can send email through several methods, most commonly the Send-MailMessage cmdlet, which supports SMTP authentication, SSL, multiple recipients, CC/BCC fields, HTML bodies, attachments, encoding, priorities, and delivery notifications. The material demonstrates basic and expanded scripts using SMTP services such as Mailtrap and Gmail, provides connection settings for several popular email providers, and describes Mailtrap’s API option, including domain verification, transactional or bulk streams, and delivery analytics. It also covers alternatives such as the EASendMail component for SMTP, HTML email generation, database-driven bulk mail queues, and the underlying System.Net.Mail API with SmtpClient for programmatic email delivery.
