Send-Mail.ps1

http://blogs.flaphead.dns2go.com/archive/tags/PowerShell/default.aspx

v0.11 [3 November 2008]

Description

This script performs a “telnet” to Port 25 to a server and checks the reply. It then reports the output to the Application Event Log and on failure send an email.

Depending on the command line, the script will build a list of IP addresses to test

Usage

No Commandline	The default option. The script will enumerate all the Hub Transport servers and test each one over port 25
<ServerName>	Tests just the server specified
-SENDCONNECTOR	This option will enumerate the Exchange 2007 send connectors. If a smart host is used, it will perform an NSLookup and get the “mail exchanger“ records and use the IP Addresses and test each one over the port specified on the Send Connector. It will also “fail back” to test port 25 if needed. If just an IP address is used it will just test that one.
-NOMX	Uses all servers returned from the NSLookup under “internet address” Must be used with -SendConnector
-NOHUBTRANSPORT	Does not add the result from get-transportserver to the list of servers to check
-EMAIL	Uses send-mail.ps1 to send email to the list of users in "_emailAlertList.txt"
-?	Displays the Help Text

Output

This script writes events to the Application event log of the server it is running on, and generates a transcript log file (Test-SMTP.ps1.log)
