I need a e-mail script that works using 365. Here is what I have so far and I cant get it to work.

Function EMAIL{

	Param(
		$emailSmtpServer = "XXXXXXXXXXX",
		$emailSmtpServerPort = 587,
		$emailSmtpUser = "XXXXX@XXXXX.com",
		$emailSmtpPass = "Password",
		$emailFrom = "XXXXX@XXXXXXX.com",
		$emailTo = "XXXXXXX@XXXXXXX.com",
		$emailAttachment = 'XXXXXXXXXX',
		$emailSubject = "This is a test" ,
		$emailBody = "How does this look?"
	)
	
	Process{
	
$emailMessage = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage( $emailFrom , $emailTo )
$emailMessage.Subject = $emailSubject
$emailMessage.Attachments.add($emailAttachment)
$emailMessage.IsBodyHtml = $true
$emailMessage.Body = $emailBody
 
$SMTPClient = New-Object System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient( $emailSmtpServer , $emailSmtpServerPort )
$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $true
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential( $emailSmtpUser , $emailSmtpPass );
 
$SMTPClient.Send( $emailMessage )
}
}

Use Send-MailMessage.  It will negotiate the security correctly.

I could be wrong but I did some research and it said that since 365 uses TLS authentication that send-mailmessage does not work. Is this right?

Hi,

Are you getting error messages? 'I cant get it to work' doesn't really help us much.

Have you tried using Send-MailMessage instead (assuming you're running at least v3)?

EDIT: Aaaand I didn't hit refresh again. Nothing to see here, move al

I'm not getting an error message, I don't get anything back.
yes I have tried send-mailmessage I cant seem to get it to work either. Here is what I get with send-mailmessage.

PS C:\Users\XXXX> Send-MailMessage -From noreply@XXXX.com -Subject "This is a test" -To XXXX@XXXX.com -Body Testing -Port 587 -SmtpServer XXXXX
Send-MailMessage : The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server

This is what I use for sending email via gmail, try playing with these parameters:

$param = @{
    SmtpServer = 'smtp.gmail.com'
    Port = 587
    UseSsl = $true
    Credential  = 'email.address@gmail.com'
    From = 'email.address@gmail.com'
    To = 'someuser@domain.com', 'someotheruser@domain.com'
    Subject = 'Subject Line'
    Body = 'Email body'
    Attachments = 'C:\attachment.csv'
}
 
Send-MailMessage @param

I could be wrong but I did some research and it said that since 365 uses TLS authentication that send-mailmessage does not work. Is this right?

TLS is the newer version of SSL.  use the -UseSSL switch.  Port 587 is set to discover the login security and will accept either SSL or non-SSL connections.  YOU can only authenticate via SSL (TLS).

Here is the method I use. I just retested to my own account and it works correctly"

$mailprops=@'
    UseSsl=$true
    Port=587
    SmtpServer'smtp.office365.com'
    From='userid@domain.com' 
    Credential='userid@domain.com'
'@
Send-MailMessage -to jvierra@msn.com -subject test -body test @mailprops

I use a splat because it can be stored in my profile and reused very quickly.  The SMTP server is the same fo all Office365 accounts when authenticating to the smtp relay service.

I found that some strings fail with splatting on send mailmessage.  Tis always works

$userid='userid@domain.com'
Send-MailMessage `
    -To 'someuser@msn.com' `
    -subject 'test' `
    -body 'test'  `
    -UseSsl `
    -Port 587 `
    -SmtpServer 'smtp.office365.com' `
    -From  $userid `
    -Credential $userid

Thank you for the help, I am not very familiar with how or what splat is. How would I run this command?

I'm going to assume it's the use of the @ symbol to pass everything as a single string. I could be wrong though :/

All you have to do is ask the intarwebs and they will tell you:

Please note that splatting on Send-MailMessage in V4 no longer works.  It works in V2 and V3.

We require V3 to use -Port.  InV4 use full parameters.I recommend using this until you get all of your values set correctly.

$userid='yourid@yourdoamin.com'
$creds=Get-Credential $userid
Send-MailMessage `
    -To 'someone@soemwhere.com' `
    -Subject 'Test' `
    -Body 'Test' `
    -UseSsl `
    -Port 587 `
    -SmtpServer 'smtp.office365.com' `
    -From $userid `
    -Credential $creds

You must use 'smtp.office365.com'  to connect to smtp on Office 365.
