$From = "Sender email address"
$To = "recipient’s email address"
$Cc = "cc recipient’s email address"
$Subject = "Your Subject"
$Body = "Message Body"
$SMTPServer = "SMTP Server address"
$SMTPPort = "SMTP Server port"
Send-MailMessage -From $From -to $To -Cc $Cc -Subject $Subject -Body $Body -SmtpServer $SMTPServer -port $SMTPPort -UseSsl -Credential (Get-Credential)
