Powershell- Scripting an email from Exchange

I have looked all over the web and cannot find exactly what I am looking for. I am trying to write a Powershell (V2) script that emails a file using our internal Exchange server, but doesn't require Outlook. I have a user account to use for this, but I don't have Outlook available for the server it runs on. Can someone either provide a script (Or even a method) that allows me to send an email with a specified attachment, using an Exchange mailbox?

Thanks!

You can use the Send-MailMessage cmdlet. Type this at your console for more help:

Get-Help Send-MailMessage -Full

Check the second code example at the examples section:

Get-Help Send-MailMessage -Examples

This should do the trick but is missing the attachment. That shouldn't be hard to add.

function submit_report_smtp{
    param($report)
    trap{return 1}
    $smtp_client = New-Object system.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
    $smtp_client.Host = $smtp_host
    $credentials = New-Object system.Net.NetworkCredential
    $credentials.UserName = $smtp_user
    $credentials.Password = $smtp_pass
    $smtp_client.Credentials = $credentials
    $smtp_client.send($smtp_from, $smtp_to, $title,$report)
    return 0
}
