[CmdletBinding()] is something you need to add to your script to use Common Parameters like Verbose, Debug, etc… But…

C:\Users\HarmVeenstra> (get-command Get-MailDomainInfo).Parameters

Key Value
— —–
DomainName System.Management.Automation.ParameterMetadata
DNSserver System.Management.Automation.ParameterMetadata

[parameter(Mandatory = $false)][string]$DNSserver = ‘1.1.1.1’
)
