Test SMTP before sending
Use Mailozaurr to test SMTP capabilities and choose a safer send pattern.
This pattern is useful before adding SMTP sending to an operational script.
It comes from the source example at Examples/Example-TestSmtpConnection.ps1.
When to use this pattern
- You need to confirm SMTP connectivity before sending mail.
- You want to decide whether connection pooling is safe.
- You are adding a WhatIf-protected send path to a script.
Example
Import-Module .\Mailozaurr.psd1 -Force
$info = Test-SmtpConnection -Server 'smtp.example.com' -Port 587
$poolSettings = if ($info.Persistent) {
@{ UseConnectionPool = $true; ConnectionPoolSize = 2 }
} else {
@{}
}
Send-EmailMessage -From 'sender@example.com' -To 'recipient@example.com' -Server 'smtp.example.com' @poolSettings -WhatIf
What this demonstrates
- testing the transport before sending
- using SMTP capability data to shape the send path
- keeping the example safe with WhatIf
