Powershell send email failure

I'm writing a Powershell email feature, I used comdle 

"Send-MailMessage -To mail -From mail -Subject"

I'm getting the error:

Unable to connect to the remote server.

Also, I wonder if this method works? 

New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage($From, $To, $Subject, $Body)

and what's the difference with Send-MailMessage?

At first, you need to check your SMTP and see if you can parse or ping your SMTP server. Also, Have you checked your port e.g. 587 ? Like this:

Send-MailMessage -To $to -From $from -cc $cc -Subject $sub -Body $body -Credential $mycreds -SmtpServer $smtp -DeliveryNotificationOption Never -BodyAsHtml -UseSsl -port 587

For the send email difference, you can also refer to the following link:
