Summary
The documentation page exclusively provides PowerShell-based instructions and examples for sending email via SMTP with Azure Communication Services. It references Windows-specific tools (Send-MailMessage, PSCredential) and does not mention or provide any equivalent Linux or cross-platform methods (such as using 'sendmail', 'mailx', 'swaks', or Python scripts). This creates a clear bias towards Windows environments and leaves Linux users without guidance.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-compatible examples using common command-line tools (e.g., 'sendmail', 'mailx', 'swaks') or scripting languages (e.g., Python's smtplib).
- Explicitly mention cross-platform alternatives and provide step-by-step instructions for both Windows and Linux users.
- Include a note clarifying that PowerShell is available on Linux, but also provide native Linux tool examples for users who prefer them.
- Structure the documentation so that Windows and Linux instructions are presented in parallel, or at least make it clear that both platforms are supported.
