In reply to REB. Sorry, it is not possible with this script. This script uses the account which is configured in outlook to send emails. If you have an smtp server, you can use Send-MailMessage command with -From parameter as users email. SMTP or relay should be configured with anonymous receive connector. You can whitelist the servers IP address (where the Send-MailMessage runs) in the smtp or relay to accept the connections.

This is great replacement for Send-MailMessage and works really well. How can you set it to send from another account? For example, in out-boarding (terminating) an employee, we need to remove them from a listserv via an email. It needs to be sent from that user’s email account with no subject and a body of “UNSUB blah blah blah”. If it is from my account, it won’t work properly. I’ve looked at other properties and cmdlets, but can’t seem to find the right combination.

This is great it is really helpful for what I am trying to do! I have a question though. In my testing I can’t get this to work if outlook is already open. Is there a way to get this working if outlook is open?
