Summary
The documentation exclusively provides PowerShell examples using the Windows-specific Send-MailMessage cmdlet and PSCredential objects. No Linux or macOS equivalent commands (e.g., using sendmail, mailx, or Python's smtplib) are mentioned, nor are cross-platform SMTP tools or scripts provided. This creates friction for non-Windows users attempting to follow the guide.
Recommendations
- Add Linux/macOS examples using common tools such as sendmail, mailx, or Python scripts for SMTP.
- Mention cross-platform alternatives to PowerShell, such as using curl, swaks, or Python's smtplib.
- Clearly indicate which steps/tools are Windows-specific and provide parity instructions for other platforms.
- Consider reordering examples so that platform-neutral or cross-platform solutions are presented first.
