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
