This works fine for me,

$messageParameters = @{
From = "xxxx@xxx.com"
To = @("asfadsf@dsdasf.com", "djshgfkdhas@hcbvmxc.com")
Subject = "DBLocks "
Body = "Job Status"
SMTPServer = "SMTPSERVER"
}

Send-MailMessage @messageParameters

The to list needs to be an array @() not a comma separated string 🙂

I tried something like this then used $ToString

    $ArrayOfStrings = @("xxxx@.xxxxcom","yyyyy@yyyy.com","zzzz@zzzz.com")
    $ToString = $ArrayOfStrings -join ","

Don't convert it to a string at all, the to parameter should just be the array if it's going to multiple addresses.

Many Thx.
