Description
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cmdlet is obsolete.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.
Examples
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.

-Credential
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.

Type: | PSCredential |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | Current user |

-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.

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.

Notes
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.
