@Mahesh:

To send a non-trivial mail with exim, first format it to a proper rfc822/rfc2822/rfc5322 format mail with the attachments done according to mime (lots of other tools to do that, take your pick), then pass it as input to exim something like this:

exim -some-options-here-forgot-which < your-message.rfc822

Exim would do the rest

@Mahesh:

I don’t know how you can do it from the command line. You probably need to use a proper MUA for that, try

mutt

(available from Cygwin installer). Or you could achieve the same thing with a Perl or Ruby script (more complicated)

Nice. You mention Eclipse here and there, so I assume you also do stuff in Java. Here is one useful library for unit-testing sending emails via SMTP: http://code.google.com/p/subethasmtp/wiki/Wiser It acts as SMTP server, and let’s you check received messages in Java code.
