Please format your code and sample input/output properly and read about how to ask a good question. - mklement0
Why not just use send-mailmessage command? - jkdba

You did not specify a recipient. (There is no one who could receive that mail.)

The MailMessage class not only has a From property, but also a To property. 

$msg.To = "[email protected]"
