Summary
The documentation page exclusively provides instructions and examples for sending email via SMTP using PowerShell and the Send-MailMessage cmdlet, which are native to Windows environments. There are no examples or guidance for Linux or cross-platform tools, such as using Python, curl, or other SMTP clients commonly available on Linux. The documentation assumes the user is on Windows and familiar with PowerShell, omitting Linux equivalents and alternative approaches.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific examples using common tools such as 'sendmail', 'mailx', or 'mutt'.
- Provide cross-platform code samples, e.g., using Python's smtplib or Node.js libraries.
- Include instructions for storing credentials securely on Linux systems.
- Mention alternative SMTP clients and utilities available on Linux and macOS.
- Reorganize the documentation to present both Windows and Linux approaches side-by-side or in parallel sections.
