Vista - Powershell + certificate = encrypted/signed email?

I have certs to sign and/or encrypt email via outlook. Using openssl, I can
create a command line to sign/encrypt an email using said cert and send it.

Can I do the same with PowerShell? It seems there is reference to certs
here:



PS C:\Documents and Settings\Blake\Desktop\PowerShell\scripts> $SmtpClient =
new-object system.net.mail.smtpClient
PS C:\Documents and Settings\Blake\Desktop\PowerShell\scripts> $SmtpClient


Host :
Port : 25
UseDefaultCredentials : False
Credentials :
Timeout : 100000
ServicePoint :
DeliveryMethod : Network
PickupDirectoryLocation :
EnableSsl : False
ClientCertificates : {}

Looks like you have to tell the .NET Framework some other way what
cert(s) are available.

Not a fix, but it might help you to start looking in the right direction...

I'll try and look at it again also, time permitting...

I appreciate the response

I could use PS in conjunction with OpenSSL, but was hoping to avoid multiple
steps.

If you come up with anything feel free to reply.

Thanks

If you check $smtpclient after, you should have soemthing show up.
