Summary
The documentation exclusively provides instructions and examples using PowerShell and the Windows-specific Send-MailMessage cmdlet. There are no Linux or macOS equivalents (such as using 'sendmail', 'mailx', 'mutt', or Python scripts), nor any mention of cross-platform alternatives. This creates friction for non-Windows users attempting to send email via SMTP with Azure Communication Services.
Recommendations
- Add Linux/macOS examples using common tools (e.g., 'sendmail', 'mail', 'mutt', or Python's smtplib).
- Include cross-platform code samples (e.g., Python, Node.js) for sending SMTP email.
- Explicitly mention that PowerShell examples are Windows-specific and provide guidance for other platforms.
- Reorder or parallelize examples so Linux/macOS instructions are presented alongside Windows/PowerShell ones.
