If you want to send a single mail, you can do:

( sleep 3 ; echo "EHLO benderirc.de"
sleep 1 ; echo "MAIL FROM: <your.name@???>"
sleep 1 ; echo DATA
sleep 1 ; cat /path/to/mail.file
echo "." ; sleep 3
echo QUIT ; sleep 1
) | openssl s_client -connect eggs.gnu.org:25 -tls1 -starttls smtp

For regular mail exchange this approach is not very comfortable, yes. :)
