Send mail via Gmail with PowerShell V2’s Send-MailMessage

by

Here’s my PowerShell Send-MailMessage sample for Gmail…

Tested and working solution:

$EmailFrom = "[email protected]"
$EmailTo = "[email protected]"
$Subject = "Notification from XYZ"
$Body = "this is a notification from XYZ Notifications.."
$SMTPServer = "smtp.gmail.com"
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SmtpServer, 587)
$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $true
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password");
$SMTPClient.Send($EmailFrom, $EmailTo, $Subject, $Body)

Just change $EmailTo, and username/password in $SMTPClient.Credentials… Do not include @gmail.com in your username…
