# The Win 10 commandlet defaults to TLS 1.0 which is deprecated as incecure! (see https://www.sparkpost.com/blog/tls-v1-0-deprecation/)
# Make Windows negotiate higher TLS version as follows:
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
# Build a Credential object containing SparkPost API key as password
$pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString "<<Your API KEY HERE>>" -AsPlainText -Force
$creds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ("SMTP_Injection", $pwd)
# Send. This is using the SparkPost EU service. If you are using the US service, change SmtpServer to be smtp.sparkpostmail.com.
