Summary
The documentation exclusively provides instructions and examples using PowerShell and the Send-MailMessage cmdlet, which are native to Windows. There are no examples or guidance for sending email via SMTP from Linux or macOS environments, nor are cross-platform tools (such as curl, swaks, or Python scripts) mentioned. The documentation assumes the user is on Windows and familiar with Windows-specific tooling.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent SMTP email sending examples for Linux and macOS, using tools such as swaks, curl, or Python's smtplib.
- Include instructions for storing credentials securely on non-Windows platforms.
- Present cross-platform examples side-by-side, or clearly indicate platform-specific sections.
- Mention alternative tools and approaches for users who do not have access to PowerShell or prefer open-source solutions.
