    Code

    $mymail = New-Object System.Collections.Specialized.StringDictionary
    #Add the email address of the user you want to send email to.
    $mymail.Add("to", " [email protected] ")
    #Add the email address of the user you want to send email as cc.
    $mymail.Add("cc", "[email protected]")
    #Add the email address of the user you want to send email as bcc.
    $mymail.Add("bcc", "[email protected]")
    #Add the email address of the user you want to get email from.
    $mymail.Add("from", "from@ webdomain.com ")
    #provide a subject
    $mymail.Add("subject", "This is Awesome")
    #provide a type of your content
    $mymail.Add("content-type", "text/html")
    #provide the body of your email
    $bodyText = "I am sending email using PowerShell"
    #Apply the function to send email
    [Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtility]::SendEmail($web, $mymail, $bodyText)
