Hi, I am trying to use JMeter to generate load on an SMTP server (checking how many incoming emails the SMTP server can handle). I have tried connecting and sending mails using telnet on port 25. The interaction looks something like this:
telnet> HELO successful telnet> MAIL FROM:[EMAIL PROTECTED] successful What is the right way of simulating this interaction using JMeter? I tried using two TCP samplers, one for each of the above requests but that approach fails since the SMTP server considers them as two separate sections. If I try to send the HELO as well as the MAIL requests in the same sampler, I get a successful response for the HELO but not for FROM. As far as I can see, the SMTP server is behaving correctly and my question is : what do I need to do in order to get this right? Thanks in advance, Rajendra Gokhale
