It would appear that you’re not successfully authenticating with your smtp server, most likely requires SSL or something similar.

Also, why use the .net providers here, when Powershell has a native cmdlet send-mailmessage.

I see port 587, I think Office 365, but regardless here is an example of using Send-MailMessage:

Not the best example but it works

 

[pre]

$login = "Login name" $password = "Password" | Convertto-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force $credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.Pscredential -Argumentlist $login,$password
Send-MailMessage -SmtpServer smtp.office365.com -from "From@email.nl" -credential $credentials -to "To@email.nl" -subject "Subject" -Body "Body" -UseSsl
