PowerShell configure smtpserver

in powershell how configure smtpserver:

ping "stmp.email.com" = “xxx.xx.xx.xxx”  $smtpserver = “xxx.xx.xx.xxx” or "stmp.email.com"????????

ps code:

$ipsmtp = 'xxx.xx.xx.xxx'  $plainpassword = "adminpassword"  $securepassword = $plainpassword | convertto-securestring -asplaintext -force  $username = "mysite\administrator"  $credentials = new-object system.management.automation.pscredential    -argumentlist $username, $securepassword  $mailprops=@{      subject = 'this subject'      body = 'the body , subbody'      to = 'emailto@mail.com'      from = 'emailfrom@email.com'      smtpserver = 'smtp.email.com'  }  send-mailmessage $mailprops -credential $credentials

no matter if use smtpserver: 'smtp.email.com' or $ipsmtp still same result.

this ps code missing credentials for'smtp.email.com'.  has username , password associated enter it.

error code:

send-mailmessage : the specified string not in form required for e-mail address.  at c:\users\administrator\documents\ps\email.ps1:14 char:1  + send-mailmessage $mailprops -credential $credentials  + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~      + categoryinfo          : invalidtype: (:) [send-mailmessage], formatexception      + fullyqualifiederrorid : formatexception,microsoft.powershell.commands.sendmailmessage    send-mailmessage : the email cannot sent because no smtp server specified. you must specify smtp server   using either smtpserver parameter or $psemailserver variable.  at c:\users\administrator\documents\ps\email.ps1:14 char:1  + send-mailmessage $mailprops -credential $credentials  + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~      + categoryinfo          : invalidargument: (:) [send-mailmessage], invalidoperationexception      + fullyqualifiederrorid : microsoft.powershell.commands.sendmailmessage

hi philosophiae,

you trying use splatting specify parameters, have minor typo in there:

# typed send-mailmessage $mailprops -credential $credentials  # should have typed instead send-mailmessage @mailprops -credential $credentials

cheers,
fred
