Powershell send-mailmessage - email to multiple recipients


I have this powershell script to sending emails with attachments, but when I add multiple recipients, only the first one gets the message. I've read the documentation and still can't figure it out. Thank you

$recipients = "Marcel <[email protected]>, Marcelt <[email protected]>"

Get-ChildItem "C:\Decrypted\" | Where {-NOT $_.PSIsContainer} | foreach {$_.fullname} |
send-mailmessage -from "[email protected]" `
            -to "$recipients" `
            -subject "New files" `
            -body "$teloadmin" `
            -BodyAsHtml `
            -priority  High `
            -dno onSuccess, onFailure `
            -smtpServer  192.168.170.61

Solution

  • $recipients = "Marcel <[email protected]>, Marcelt <[email protected]>"
    

    is type of string you need pass to send-mailmessage a string[] type (an array):

    [string[]]$recipients = "Marcel <[email protected]>", "Marcelt <[email protected]>"
    

    I think that not casting to string[] do the job for the coercing rules of powershell:

    $recipients = "Marcel <[email protected]>", "Marcelt <[email protected]>"
    

    is object[] type but can do the same job.
