sending mail from Batch file

Question

We have a script to backup files  After the backup operation is over  we would like to send a report as an email notification to some of our email addresses   How could this be done

User · Answer

PowerShell comes with a built in command for it. So running directly from a .bat file:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -Command Send-MailMessage ^
    -SmtpServer server.address.name ^
    -To [email protected] ^
    -From [email protected] ^
    -Subject Testing ^
    -Body 123

_{NB -ExecutionPolicy ByPass is only needed if you haven't set up permissions for running PS from CMD}

_{Also for those looking to call it from within powershell, drop everything before -Command [inclusive], and ` will be your escape character (not ^)}

There are multiple methods for handling this problem   My advice is to use the powerful Windows freeware console application SendEmail   sendEmail exe -f sender from mail com -o message-file body txt -u subject message -t to email address mail com -a attachment zip -s smtp gmail com 446 -xu gmail login -xp gmail password
