Client authentification failure while sending email from office365 account via powershell
- Jul 08, 2021
The regular way to do this when using modern authentication with MFA would be to allow ‘app passwords’. There are other ways, which I would not recommend, because they potentially lower the security posture.
If that doesn't work or is not allowed in your tenant, other methods may include:
* Disabling MFA (not recommended)
* If MFA is enabled using Azure AD Conditional Access, exclude this user for specifically SMTP from the Azure AD Conditional Access policy
* If you're using Security Defaults within your Microsoft 365 tenant, legacy authentication is blocked by default and can't be bypassed unless you disable Security Defaults
* You can use the Graph API for sending out e-mail programatically (Send mail - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Docs)
How about emailing using outlook directly without the need of smtp.
