You can simply use the Gmail smtp.

Following is The powershell code to send a gmail message with an Attachment:

    $Message = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage 
    $smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587) 
    $smtp.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("From@gmail.com", "password"); 
    $smtp.EnableSsl = $true 
    $smtp.Timeout = 400000  
    $Message.From = "From@gmail.com" 
    $Message.To.Add("To@gmail.com") 
    $Message.Attachments.Add("C:\foo\attach.txt") 
    $smtp.Send($Message)

On the sender Google Account (From@gmail.com),

Make sure you have Turned ON Access for less-secure apps option, from google Account Security Dashboard.

Finally, Save this Script As mail.ps1

To invoke the above Script Simple run below on Command Prompt or batch file:

    Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned -File mail.ps1

By Default, For sending Large Attachments Timeout is Around 100 seconds or so. In this script, it is increased to Around 5 or 6 minutes
