I keep getting "a recipient must be specified" when I run this. What am I doing incorrectly?

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]"

Check out the documentation at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.mail.mailmessage(v=vs.110).aspx
