How to send email to multiple recipients using Send-MailMessage

I have this PowerShell script to sending emails with attachments, but when I add multiple recipients, only the first one gets the message.

$recipients = "Marcel <marcel@turie.eu>, Marcelt <marcel@nbs.sk>"
 
Get-ChildItem "C:\Decrypted\" | Where {-NOT $_.PSIsContainer} | foreach {$_.fullname} |
send-mailmessage -from "primasfrb@nbs.sk" `
            -to "$recipients" `
            -subject "New files" `
            -body "$teloadmin" `
            -BodyAsHtml `
            -priority  High `
            -dno onSuccess, onFailure `
            -smtpServer  192.168.170.61

How can I make sure all recipients receive the e-mail?

Solution 
  • $recipients = "Marcel <marcel@turie.eu>, Marcelt <marcel@nbs.sk>"

    is of the type string so you need to pass a string[] type (an array) to Send-MailMessage:

    [string[]]$recipients = "Marcel <marcel@turie.eu>", "Marcelt <marcel@nbs.sk>"

    I think that not casting to string[] does the job for the coercing rules of PowerShell:

    $recipients = "Marcel <marcel@turie.eu>", "Marcelt <marcel@nbs.sk>"

    is of the type object[], but can do the same job.
