In that case, the email carries a private key as well as a public key. Encrypted email Outlook entails converting the message from the plain text that anybody can understand to scrambled ciphertext. For you to achieve this functionality, you have to encrypt it. $message = new-object Outlook email refers to an email that preserves the privacy of the message sent. # E-Mail message configuration: from, to, subject, body # SMTP configuration: username, password, SSL and so on Here's how RunningLow sends its e-mail notifications through an external SMTP server: I've successfully used these classes when I developed RunningLow, a free PowerShell script that checks for low disk space and send e-mail to System Administrators (also available on GitHub). NET Framework objects that we can invoke with PowerShell. Luckily enough there are better alternatives that we can use to achieve such result: I'm talking about the and. Unfortunately, the Send-MailMessage cmdlet comes with a fairly limited amount of features and doesn't allow that kind of stuff. What if you don't have (or don't want to rely to) an internal relay service, thus needing to use an external SMTP service? In such scenario, you'll most likely need to send the SMTP authentication data to the external service, and maybe even add or configure some custom message headers as well.
A full-fledged SMTP service solution such as hMailServ, a neat open-source MTA / MHS service which I extensively reviewed a while ago.Īll of the alternatives above can be properly configured to securely allow the relay of e-mail messages from the local machine to the WAN, either using unauthenticated (yet IP-restricted) access or relying to the internal Window authentication: this is an ideal scenario for the Send-MailMessage cmdlet that I used within the script to actually send the e-mail messages.A drop-in Windows porting to the Linux Sendmail, such as Fake Sendmail (or other similar alternatives).The default SMTP server shipped with Windows Server.
Truth to be told, that little PowerShell script I wrote could also be used on a wider scenario - basically, every time you need to create custom messages and automate them using an internal relay service, such as:
I wrote that post to demonstrate how a simple notification script could allow the Windows Event Viewer to send its warnings through e-mail messages even when the native "send to e-mail" feature was deprecated (such as in Windows Server 2012 and later).
A couple of years ago I published an article explaining how to send notification E-Mail messages with PowerShell.
