   1. Agree, good code. But now with Magento 2.3.0 it should be used a different implementation based on ZendFramework 2. Look here https://extait.com/blog/how-to-send-email-with-attachment-in-magento-2-3/

   1. As you can see there is no need to attach file, please remove all the non-required code and let me know if any exception is generated.

      Also if you are sending mail from local environment, you need to confirm whether mail sending is allowed or not

   1. @Jagesh – The email is set from admin end in general, it should not be hardcoded. I am referring Magento version 1.5 , check this file app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Shipment.php (its in core package, if you are using local than check in ‘local’ package), there is a function for email ‘sendEmail’.

                      /* @var $mailTemplate Mage_Core_Model_Email_Template */
                      $mailTemplate->setDesignConfig(array('area' => 'frontend'))
                          ->setReplyTo($post['email'])
                          ->sendTransactional(
