Summary
The documentation exclusively provides instructions and examples using PowerShell and the Send-MailMessage cmdlet, which are native to Windows. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives mentioned, such as using 'sendmail', 'mailx', or Python scripts. The documentation assumes the user is on Windows and does not address how to perform the same task on Linux or macOS.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions and examples for Linux and macOS, such as using 'sendmail', 'mailx', or Python's smtplib.
- Include cross-platform code samples (e.g., Python, Node.js) for sending email via SMTP.
- Explicitly mention platform requirements and provide guidance for users on non-Windows systems.
- List both Windows and Linux tools for storing credentials and sending emails, and present them in parallel sections.
