I'm using windows powershell and it is asking the To: over and over again when I try to send an email on it. How do I stop this?

    If the To[x]: input is blank it shouldn't ask again.

    Is this on the console or part of a script?

    Have you provided any recipients at all? IOW, have you used either the -CC or -BCC parameters?

    Also, a message without a "To:" header in the RFC822 message headers would look pretty suspicious to spam filters.

    If you don't want to disclose the intended recipients in the RFC822 headers then it's a good idea to add the -TO parameter with an address like "DoNotReply@your-domain.tld" and assign the DoNotReply@your-domain.tld to a distribution group with no members -- that will effectively discard any replies, NDRs, etc. sent in response to the email.
