First you need to mount the share on the file system of your Linux box.
smbmount //192.168.0.1/SharedDocs /home/<userid>/SharedDocs 
-orw,username=<winuserid>,password=<winuserpwd>,uid=<userid>

Then copy the file.
cp test.txt /home/<userid>/SharedDocs/test.txt


P.S.
If your email client wraps lines, the smbmount command above is a single line.

P.P.S.
You may need to make smbmnt suid root.
chmod +s /path/to/smbmnt

P.P.P.S.
Note the difference smbmount and smbmnt - Its not a typo.
