Modify script to use Office365 and port 587

I would like to change this script so that uses the smtp server: smtp.office365.com
Port 587
Encryption TLS
Username: username@yourdomain.com
Password: xxxx

###PROGRAM START###
      # Invokes the Send-MailMessage function to send notification email
      $splat = @{
            From = 'info@info.com'
            To = Get-Content -Path ( Join-Path $PSScriptRoot 'DistributionList.txt')
            SmtpServer = 'smtp.server.com'
            Subject = $subject
            body = $MessageBody
            BodyAsHtml = $true
            Attachment = ( Join-Path $PSScriptRoot 'abc.pdf' )
      }
      Send-MailMessage @splat
###PROGRAM END###

This should do it :

###PROGRAM START###
# Invokes the Send-MailMessage function to send notification email
$splat = @{
    From       = 'info@info.com'
    To         = Get-Content -Path ( Join-Path $PSScriptRoot 'DistributionList.txt')
    SmtpServer = 'smtp.server.com'
    Subject    = $subject
    body       = $MessageBody
    BodyAsHtml = $true
    Attachment = ( Join-Path $PSScriptRoot 'abc.pdf' )
    Port       = "587"
    
}
Send-MailMessage @splat -usessl -Credential $(Get-Credential)
###PROGRAM END###

Can the credential be embedded in the script?

@Tek Info,

oBdA's script has the credential embedded.

Send-MailMessage @splat -usessl -Credential $(Get-Credential)
###PROGRAM END###

I added it to the command string rather than to the @splat

Change
From = 'info@info.com'

to a valid e-mail address associated with the account you are attempting to authenticate through...

I would be willing to bet info@info.com is on a domain you do not own.

This was changed already to a valid email, and it still does not work.

Is the From address the same as the one you used in the credential object? If not, the account used for the credentials must be allowed to send as the From user.
