Example PowerShell script for email notification

Description
The PowerShell script (below) sends an email using SMTP attributes passed on the command-line (i.e. from-Email-Address, to-Email-Address, and SMTP-Server). The script then pauses for 5 minutes before returning control to the Delphix Engine.
