Summary
The documentation provides a Powershell example specifically for sending email via SMTP, which is a Windows-centric tool. There is no mention of Linux/macOS command-line alternatives (such as sendmail, mailx, or Python scripts), nor are Linux-specific instructions or examples present. The inclusion of 'Windows Powershell' as a dedicated method and the absence of Linux/macOS equivalents demonstrates a notable Windows bias.
Recommendations
- Add Linux/macOS command-line examples using common tools (e.g., sendmail, mailx, swaks, or Python's smtplib).
- Include instructions for sending email via SMTP from Linux/macOS terminals.
- Ensure parity by presenting cross-platform examples side-by-side, or clearly indicating platform applicability.
- Consider adding a section for macOS users if there are platform-specific nuances.
