Summary
The documentation provides SMTP email sending examples using SmtpClient (typically .NET, often Windows-centric) and Windows PowerShell, but lacks Linux-specific examples or references to Linux tools (such as sendmail, mailx, or command-line SMTP clients). Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively, and Linux alternatives are not addressed.
Recommendations
- Add examples using Linux command-line tools (e.g., sendmail, mailx, swaks) for sending SMTP emails.
- Include sample scripts for Linux shell environments (bash, sh) to demonstrate parity with PowerShell examples.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform .NET usage, clarifying if SmtpClient works on Linux and how to configure it.
- Provide guidance for configuring SMTP on Linux systems, including any required dependencies or setup steps.
- Ensure that documentation sections for Linux are as detailed and prominent as those for Windows.
