You should try something like that first :
$Username = "Myemail@outlook.com"
$EmailPassword = "YourRealPassword of your email"
$Attachment= "C:\Test.txt" # Example you can change its path here instead of "c:\Test.txt"
$EmailTo = "Someonesemail@gmail.com"
$EmailFrom = "Myemail@outlook.com"
$Subject = "PowershellTest"
$Body= "PowershellTest"
$SMTPServer = "smtp.outlook.com"
$SMTPMessage = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage($EmailFrom, $EmailTo, $Subject, $Body)
$Attachment = New-Object System.Net.Mail.Attachment($Attachment)
$SMTPMessage.Attachments.Add($Attachment)
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SmtpServer, 587)
$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $true
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($Username, $EmailPassword)
$SMTPClient.Send($SMTPMessage)
EDIT : Using PowerShell’s Send-MailMessage cmdlet
Refer to How to Send Email with Office 365 Direct Send and PowerShell
using PowerShell’s Send-MailMessage cmdlet :
You’ll first need to define a PowerShell PScredential object then provide all of the parameters that Send-MailMessage needs.
# Get the credential
$credential = Get-Credential
## Define the Send-MailMessage parameters
$mailParams = @{
SmtpServer = 'smtp.office365.com'
Port = '587'
UseSSL = $true
Credential = $credential
From = 'sender@yourdomain.com'
To = 'recipient@yourdomain.com', 'recipient@NotYourDomain.com'
Subject = "SMTP Client Submission - $(Get-Date -Format g)"
Body = 'This is a test email using SMTP Client Submission'
Attachment = 'C:\Test.txt' # Here you can change your attachment
DeliveryNotificationOption = 'OnFailure', 'OnSuccess'
}
## Send the message
Send-MailMessage @mailParams
When you run the code above, you should receive an email received by the internal recipient (yourdomain.com) and the external domain (notyourdomain.com) with Attachment.
IMPORTANT REMARK :
If you encounter this problem while sending a mail with the smtp of google, you should take a look at this Can not send mail using smtp.gmail.com, port 587 from vbs script
You can use batch and powershell to send an email :
First copy and paste this code as
PS-Gmail-Sender.bat
@ECHO OFF

Title Sending E-Mail with Gmail Less Secure Applications using Powershell and Batch

SET Attachment="%~3"
REM We write our Powershell script
CALL :WritePS
REM We execute our Powershell script .PS1 by passing arguments from the command line or a batch file

)
Exit /B

Second You can call this batch file from the command line or you can also save another batch file as Sendit.bat and execute by double click in order to call the first script with arguments PS-Gmail-Sender.bat
PS-Gmail-Sender.bat "Mygmail_Account@gmail.com" "MyGmail_Password" "D:\test\myFile.txt"
