Summary
The documentation provides a dedicated section for sending email via Windows PowerShell, a Windows-specific tool, without offering equivalent Linux/macOS command-line examples (e.g., using sendmail, mailx, or curl). The inclusion of PowerShell as a pivot option highlights Windows tooling, and there is no mention of Linux-native methods or cross-platform alternatives. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who cannot use PowerShell natively.
Recommendations
- Add a section or pivot for Linux/macOS users, demonstrating how to send email via SMTP using common tools (e.g., sendmail, mailx, swaks, curl, or Python scripts).
- Explicitly mention cross-platform alternatives to PowerShell for command-line email sending.
- Ensure that examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS are presented with equal prominence.
