Mailozaurr is a PowerShell module that aims to provide SMTP, POP3, IMAP and few other ways to interact with Email. Underneath it uses MimeKit and MailKit and EmailValidation libraries written by Jeffrey Stedfast.
For oAuth2 it also requires some Microsoft and Google libraries that are also bundled in
Finally since Resolve-DNSName
is Windows specific I'm using:
This started with a single goal to replace Send-MailMessage
which is depracated/obsolete with something more modern, but since MailKit and MimeKit have lots of options why not build on that?
Send-EmailMessage
) using:
Find-DKIMRecord
)Find-MXRecord
)Find-DMARCRecord
)Find-SPFRecord
)Find-DNSBL
)While I didn't spent much time creating WIKI, working on Get-Help documentation, I did write blog articles that should help you get started.
You can also utilize Examples which should help to understand use cases. Of course it would be great having pretty help so if you can help me out feel free to submit PR's.
Keep in mind PSSharedGoods is only required for development. When you use this module from PowerShellGallery it's not installed as everything is merged.
Install-Module -Name Mailozaurr -AllowClobber -Force
Force and AllowClobber aren't necessary, but they do skip errors in case some appear.
Update-Module -Name Mailozaurr
That's it. Whenever there's a new version, you run the command, and you can enjoy it. Remember that you may need to close, reopen PowerShell session if you have already used module before updating it.
The essential thing is if something works for you on production, keep using it till you test the new version on a test computer. I do changes that may not be big, but big enough that auto-update may break your code. For example, a small rename to a parameter, and your code stops working! Be responsible!
