Would be nice to add mock junit testing support #5

It would be nice to add a feature that performs all sorts of validations on the 
email, but stops short from actually delivering the email over the network.  
For unit testing purposes, etc.

Any suggestions? Adding a flag 'test mode' is easy enough so that it won't 
actually send emails.

How would you like to perform the validations?

Consider this:

    // SmtpReceiver is a simple interface definition from simple-java-mail.
    // The interface looks similar to interface used to talk to the remove server, but perhaps at a higher level of abstraction.
    // In another words, I would like to see SmtpReceiver get the "to", "from", "headers", etc., but not actually see the "helo" handshaking, etc.
    // I'd also like to make sure that simple-java-mail still performs all of the other stuff it does like validation.
    // The SmtpReceiver is the last part of the chain.
    // Oh, I'd also like to be able to have SmtpReceiver throw IOExceptions to similate network/server failures, etc.
    SmtpReceiver aSmtpFakeReceiver = <my mock or fake smtpreceiver>

    Mailer mailer = new Mailer(... aSmtpFakeReceiver ...);

Thoughts?
