Beschreibung

The Send-MailMessage cmdlet sends an email message from within PowerShell.

You must specify a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server or the Send-MailMessage command fails. Use the SmtpServer parameter or set the $PSEmailServer variable to a valid SMTP server. The value assigned to $PSEmailServer is the default SMTP setting for PowerShell. For more information, see about_Preference_Variables.

Warning

The Send-MailMessage cmdlet is obsolete. This cmdlet doesn't guarantee secure connections to SMTP servers. While there is no immediate replacement available in PowerShell, we recommend you do not use Send-MailMessage. For more information, see Platform Compatibility note DE0005.

Beispiele

Example 1: Send an email from one person to another person

This example sends an email message from one person to another person.

The From, To, and Subject parameters are required by Send-MailMessage. This example uses the default $PSEmailServer variable for the SMTP server, so the SmtpServer parameter is not needed.

$sendMailMessageSplat = @{
    From = 'User01 <user01@fabrikam.com>'
    To = 'User02 <user02@fabrikam.com>'
    Subject = 'Test mail'
}
Send-MailMessage @sendMailMessageSplat

The Send-MailMessage cmdlet uses the From parameter to specify the message's sender. The To parameter specifies the message's recipient. The Subject parameter uses the text string Test mail as the message because the optional Body parameter isn't included.

Example 2: Send an attachment

This example sends an email message with an attachment.

$sendMailMessageSplat = @{
    From = 'User01 <user01@fabrikam.com>'
    To = 'User02 <user02@fabrikam.com>', 'User03 <user03@fabrikam.com>'
    Subject = 'Sending the Attachment'
    Body = "Forgot to send the attachment. Sending now."
    Attachments = '.\data.csv'
    Priority = 'High'
    DeliveryNotificationOption = 'OnSuccess', 'OnFailure'
    SmtpServer = 'smtp.fabrikam.com'
}
Send-MailMessage @sendMailMessageSplat

The Send-MailMessage cmdlet uses the From parameter to specify the message's sender. The To parameter specifies the message's recipients. The Subject parameter describes the content of the message. The Body parameter is the content of the message.

The Attachments parameter specifies the file in the current directory that's attached to the email message. The Priority parameter sets the message to High priority. The DeliveryNotificationOption parameter specifies two values, OnSuccess and OnFailure. The sender will receive email notifications to confirm the success or failure of the message delivery. The SmtpServer parameter sets the SMTP server to smtp.fabrikam.com.

Example 3: Send email to a mailing list

This example sends an email message to a mailing list.

$sendMailMessageSplat = @{
    From = 'User01 <user01@fabrikam.com>'
    To = 'ITGroup <itdept@fabrikam.com>'
    Cc = 'User02 <user02@fabrikam.com>'
    Bcc = 'ITMgr <itmgr@fabrikam.com>'
    Subject = "Don't forget today's meeting!"
    Credential = 'domain01\admin01'
    UseSsl = $true
}
Send-MailMessage @sendMailMessageSplat

The Send-MailMessage cmdlet uses the From parameter to specify the message's sender. The To parameter specifies the message's recipients. The Cc parameter sends a copy of the message to the specified recipient. The Bcc parameter sends a blind copy of the message. A blind copy is an email address that's hidden from the other recipients. The Subject parameter is the message because the optional Body parameter isn't included.

The Credential parameter specifies a domain administrator's credentials are used to send the message. The UseSsl parameter specifies that Secure Socket Layer (SSL) creates a secure connection.

Parameter

-Attachments

Specifies the path and file names of files to be attached to the email message. You can use this parameter or pipe the paths and file names to Send-MailMessage.

Specifies a user account that has permission to perform this action. The default is the current user.

Type a user name, such as User01 or Domain01\User01. Or, enter a PSCredential object, such as one from the Get-Credential cmdlet.

Credentials are stored in a PSCredential object and the password is stored as a SecureString.

Note

-DeliveryNotificationOption

Specifies the delivery notification options for the email message. You can specify multiple values. None is the default value. The alias for this parameter is DNO.

The delivery notifications are sent to the address in the From parameter.

The acceptable values for this parameter are as follows:

• None: No notification.
• OnSuccess: Notify if the delivery is successful.
• OnFailure: Notify if the delivery is unsuccessful.
• Delay: Notify if the delivery is delayed.
• Never: Never notify.

These values are defined as a flag-based enumeration. You can combine multiple values together to set multiple flags using this parameter. The values can be passed to the DeliveryNotification parameter as an array of values or as a comma-separated string of those values. The cmdlet will combine the values using a binary-OR operation. Passing values as an array is the simplest option and also allows you to use tab-completion on the values.

-Encoding

Specifies the type of encoding for the target file. The default value is utf8NoBOM.

The acceptable values for this parameter are as follows:

• ascii: Uses the encoding for the ASCII (7-bit) character set.
• ansi: Uses the encoding for the for the current culture's ANSI code page. This option was added in PowerShell 7.4.
• bigendianunicode: Encodes in UTF-16 format using the big-endian byte order.
• bigendianutf32: Encodes in UTF-32 format using the big-endian byte order.
• oem: Uses the default encoding for MS-DOS and console programs.
• unicode: Encodes in UTF-16 format using the little-endian byte order.
• utf7: Encodes in UTF-7 format.
• utf8: Encodes in UTF-8 format.
• utf8BOM: Encodes in UTF-8 format with Byte Order Mark (BOM)
• utf8NoBOM: Encodes in UTF-8 format without Byte Order Mark (BOM)
• utf32: Encodes in UTF-32 format.

Beginning with PowerShell 6.2, the Encoding parameter also allows numeric IDs of registered code pages (like -Encoding 1251) or string names of registered code pages (like -Encoding "windows-1251"). For more information, see the .NET documentation for Encoding.CodePage.

Starting with PowerShell 7.4, you can use the Ansi value for the Encoding parameter to pass the numeric ID for the current culture's ANSI code page without having to specify it manually.

Note

UTF-7* is no longer recommended to use. As of PowerShell 7.1, a warning is written if you specify utf7 for the Encoding parameter.

Hinweise

The Send-MailMessage cmdlet is obsolete. For more information, see Platform Compatibility note DE0005. This cmdlet doesn't guarantee secure connections to SMTP servers.

DE0005 suggests using the third-party library, MailKit. If you are using Exchange Online, you can use the Send-MgUserMail from the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK.
