Here is a small script to send emails from PowerShell. Remember to use a valid SMTP server.
$SMTPserver = "mysmtp.nowhere.now"
$fileattachment = "c:\\boot.ini"
$from = "hans@nowhere.now"
$to = "somebody@somewhere.org"
$subject = "PowerShell Test"
$emailbody = "this is my very first email send through PowerShell 1.0"
$mailer = new-object Net.Mail.SMTPclient($SMTPserver)
$msg = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage($from, $to, $subject, $emailbody)
$attachment = new-object Net.Mail.Attachment($fileattachment)
$msg.attachments.add($attachment)
$mailer.send($msg)

Add the following line:
$msg.IsBodyHTML = $true
Before the $mailer.send($msg) statement in order to allow HTML content in the email body.
Thanks..This was useful....I was also trying to:
Function EvtReader {
$logs=System.Diagnostics.EventLog::GetEventLogs("localhost")
return $logs
}
$mail.Body = EvtReader
But I dont get the body in the mail as I desire..Can you help?
How about something like this:
$elog = new-object system.diagnostics.eventlog("system", "127.0.0.1")
$html = $elog.entries[5..10] | ConvertTo-HTML
And then use my email script with html option to attach the html:
Send-SMTPmail -to jakob@bindslet.dk -from secretuser@somewhere.com -subject errors -smtpserver myserver.com -html -body $html

This is terrific! Just what I needed - thanks. I made one change, because sending an email without an attachment failed, so I wrapped the attachment se4ction in an if statement -
if ($Att -ne $null)
{
$attachment = new-object Net.Mail.Attachment($fileattachment)
$msg.attachments.add($attachment)
}
Hi Jakob,
I am interested with the mail script but I got this error when trying to execute the script you gave.
Exception calling "Send" with "1" argument(s): "Failure sending mail."
At C:\Users\Tata\testscripts\siyaro.ps1:12 char:13
+ $mailer.send <<<< ($msg)
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
Thanks.

Hi Jakob,
I'm looking for a script which can generate random size (with/without attachment) email traffic to a set of recipients. I am able to send individual mails using your scripts, but haven't succeeded in cutomizing it that way.
please help.
Thanks
Manoj
