Powershell send-mailmessage - email to multiple recipients

Question

I have this powershell script to sending emails with attachments, but when I add multiple recipients, only the first one gets the message. I've read the documentation and still can't figure it out. Thank you

$recipients = "Marcel <[email protected]>, Marcelt <[email protected]>"  Get-ChildItem "C:\Decrypted\" | Where {-NOT $_.PSIsContainer} | foreach {$_.fullname} | send-mailmessage -from "[email protected]" `             -to "$recipients" `             -subject "New files" `             -body "$teloadmin" `             -BodyAsHtml `             -priority  High `             -dno onSuccess, onFailure `             -smtpServer  192.168.170.61 

Answer 1

$recipients = "Marcel <[email protected]>, Marcelt <[email protected]>" 

is type of string you need pass to send-mailmessage a string[] type (an array):

[string[]]$recipients = "Marcel <[email protected]>", "Marcelt <[email protected]>" 

I think that not casting to string[] do the job for the coercing rules of powershell:

$recipients = "Marcel <[email protected]>", "Marcelt <[email protected]>" 

is object[] type but can do the same job.

Answer 2

Just creating a Powershell array will do the trick

$recipients = @("Marcel <[email protected]>", "Marcelt <[email protected]>") 

The same approach can be used for attachments

$attachments = @("$PSScriptRoot\image003.png", "$PSScriptRoot\image004.jpg")
