I’m using the code below to send mail from PowerShell through Outlook.
$olMailItem = 0
$olApp = new-object -comobject outlook.application
$NewMail = $olApp.CreateItem($olMailItem)
$NewMail.Subject = "PowerShell Test e-mail"
$NewMail.To = "Jason@MCTExpert.com"
$NewMail.Body = "Have a nice day"
$NewMail.SentOnBehalfOfName = "PleaseWork@MCTExpert.com"
$NewMail.Send()
The problem was that the reply address was mine. I needed to change this so I did a little bit of research. I changed the final line of the script to
$olMailItem = 0
$olApp = new-object -comobject outlook.application
$NewMail = $olApp.CreateItem($olMailItem)
$NewMail.Subject = "PowerShell Test e-mail"
$NewMail.To = "Jason@MCTExpert.com"
$NewMail.Body = "Have a nice day"
$NewMail | Get-Member
This get me the following results. Take a look at the highlighted line.Name MemberType Definition

The SendOnBehalfOfName property is a string. That is good because I can just place string that I want in there. Also, notice the {Set} flag. That means you can write to it. Here is the final code.$olMailItem = 0
$olApp = new-object -comobject outlook.application
$NewMail = $olApp.CreateItem($olMailItem)
$NewMail.Subject = "PowerShell Test e-mail"
$NewMail.To = "Jason@MCTExpert.com"
$NewMail.Body = "Have a nice day"
$NewMail.SentOnBehalfOfName = "PleaseWork@MCTExpert.com"
$NewMail | Get-Member
