  :password => '***********',
  :address => 'sandbox-smtp.mailcatch.app',

Subject: Hello world!
 
This is a test e-mail message.
END
 
Net::SMTP.start('sandbox-smtp.mailcatch.app',
              2525,
              'sandbox-smtp.mailcatch.app',
              '***********', '***********', :cram_md5) do |smtp|
smtp.send_message message, 'from@example.com',
                          'to@example.com'
