PowerShell Script: Test-SMTP

I wrote this simple script last week to test SMTP server by sending a testing email.

Usage:

.\Test-SMTP.PS1 -smtp smtp.xxxx.com -port 25 -from test@xxxx.com -to recipient@xxxx.com

If the email is successfully, the recipient will receive an email similar to this:

The email contains the following information:

• Originating Computer: Where the script was run from
• SMTP Server Address: The SMTP server that sent this email
• SMTP Server Port: default SMTP port is 25
• Return (sender) address: This does not have to be a real address
• Recipient: Where the email is sent to.
