Scheduled Job to send same email to an address

Question

I have a need to BCC a group email address and the from address not the adaxes address.

BCC: group@company.com
From: UserA@company.com
Adaxes server address: adaxes@company.com

I need to send the group address and not everyone in the group because there are over 3000 addresses and it taking 2 days non stop to send the emails where BCCing the group would allow the exchange server to do the work.

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no possibility to specify BCC using the built-in Send e-mail notification action. You will need to send the notification using a PowerShell script. You can use the IAdmServiceMailSettings::SendMail method.

That is how I’m trying to do it. I’m not sure how to setup the Scheduled task to send the Email.

Hello,

It is not possible to specify an email notification recipients only in the Bcc field, the To field must also be populated. To send the notifications, use the below script. In the script:

• $to - Specifies the recipient's e-mail address.
• $subject - Specifies the subject of the email.
• $textBody - Specifies the body of the email.
• $from - Specifies the address from which the email will be sent.
• $bcc - Specifies a list of comma separated email addresses that receive a copy of the mail but are not listed as recipients of the message.

# Email settings
$to = "jdoe@company.com" # TODO: modify me
$subject = "email" # TODO: modify me
$textBody = "Information" # TODO: modify me
$from = "sender@company.com" # TODO: modify me
$bcc = "group@company.com" # TODO: modify me

# Bind to the 'ServiceSettings' container
$wellknownContainerPath = $Context.GetWellKnownContainerPath("ServiceSettings")
$serviceSettings = $Context.BindToObject($wellknownContainerPath)

# Send mail
$serviceSettings.MailSettings.SendMail($to, $subject, $textBody, $NULL, $from, $NULL, $bcc)

To run the script in your Scheduled Task, use the Run a program or PowerShell script action. Finally, the task will look like the following:
