Send email from Powershell RC?

Hello

I would like to send an email from PowerShell. I have tried a huge
number of things, and nothing works.

I need to use an SMTP server out on the web. I could potentially set up
IIS locally, and use it to forward the emails to my ISP's SMTP server,
but would rather not if I can get away with it.

I do need to send the uid and password to the SMTP server, and would
prefer to send them securely.

This is what I got to, but there are really too many problems with
this. The start of the problems is that the System.Net namespace cannot
be imported. It works with System.Web, but not System.Net.

[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Net")
$objSmtpClient = new-object [System.Net.Mail].SmtpClient
$objSmtpClient.Host = "mail.myisp.com"
$objSmtpClient.Port = 25
$CredCache = new-object [System.Net].CredentialCache
$uri = New-Object [System].Uri("mail.myisp.com")
$NetCred = New-Object [System.Net.NetworkCredential].("uid", "pwd")
$CredCache.Add($uri, "Basic", $NetCred )
$objSmtpClient.Credentials = $CredCache
\$objMessage = new-object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
$objMessage.From = "me@hisdomain.com"
$objMessage.To.Add("me@hisdomain.com")
$objMessage.Subject = "Test Subject"
$objMessage.IsBodyHtml = $False
$objMessage.Body = "Test Body"
$objSmtpClient.Send($objMessage)


So does anyone have a working PowerScript code that uses a web based
SMTP server to send email, with secure password exchange to the SMTP
Server?

Thanks

Does it have to be PowerShell? If not, you might look into Blat.
