const mail: Mail = {
  from: '[email protected]',
  to: '[email protected]',
  subject: 'Test Email',
  body: '<h1>Hello World!</h1>',
  attachments: [
    {
      filename: 'attachment.txt',
      content: Buffer.from('Hello, this is an attachment!'),
      contentType: 'text/plain',
    },
  ],
};

mailService
  .send(mail)
  .then((response) => {
    console.log('Email sent successfully:', response);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error('Error sending email:', error);
  });
