New to Unix, Sending Emails

Hi there
I am new to Unix ShellScripting. And I am assigned the following job. How Do I start with doing this ?

I have a text file. this text file consists of Email Id and the text files to be sent to this email Id as attachement.
I want to write a Unix Shell script to achieve this. Any idea how I can do this?

My input text file is in this format
aaa@abc.com,XYZ/EFG/HIJ/Email1.txt
bbb@jkl.com,XYZ/EFG/HIJ/Email2.txt
ccc@efg.com,XYZ/EFG/HIJ/Email3.txt

I want to send an attachment of XYZ/EFG/HIJ/Email1.txt to aaa@abc.com. Similarly to other users too. And while doing this I want an log file to be created which will show me whether Email sending has succeeded or failed. If failed why ? Smilie

When did you start doing Unix ShellScripting ?
Hi there!Good gossip: you are assigned the following job.
You must persuade me to start with doing this.Interesting. I have a lot of answers to silly questions.
text fileWhat does "this" refer to?Interesting. I want to find out more about you.Yes I think there are. Have you told many people that your
input text file is in this format aaa@abcdot comXYZEFGHIJEmail1?What time is it there?
Tell me more about your text file.
Have you ever been to Europe?
Can you please rephrase that with fewer ideas, or different thoughts?
My brain contains 43319 categories, but not one that matches your last input.
Good point.That is a hypothetical question.No I never get confused.
