Hello,

At work, we are load testing a number of different mail servers. I
need to send large amounts of mail through the boxes as part of this.
To get rid of the mail, I'd like to have a linux box running Exim on
the end of the chain that does two very simple things:
* Accepts any and all mail that is sent to it, regardless of domain,
recipient, etc.
* Delivers all mail to /dev/null
What are you intending to loadtest then? The sending side?
Ideally, I'd like to prevent the mail from ever touching the disk for
speed reasons, but if that's not possible through exim, I can
accomplish the same thing by putting the spool on a RAM disk.
Then make netcat listen on the receiving port, directing outpu to
/dev/null .
Is this easy enough to set up? Any sample configuration files I can crib from?
You can append to /dev/null in an appropriate transport, or better
use s/th like this in your router configuration:
blackhole:
driver = redirect
domains = <yourdoma.in>
local_parts = blackhole
data = :blackhole:
no_verify
hth,
